Beth David Purim 2025 Silent Auction

Congregation Beth David is a large synagogue in Silicon Valley that aims to enrich  and transform peoples’ lives through prayer, study, and communal connection. We extend a warm welcome to  everyone – families, singles, seniors, young adults, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and households with mixed  ethnic, racial and/or cultural backgrounds.  

The men’s and women’s groups of Congregation Beth David organize our Annual Silent Auction. The proceeds of the Silent Auction are used to support our Congregation, our Religious School, and our community  outreach activities. Recent outreach activities have included donating food and school supplies to local agencies,  joining other faith-based communities to provide a safe place to people living in their vehicles for overnight safety,  supporting homeless and women’s shelters as well as the American Red Cross, Relay for Life, preparing hygiene kits  for those who are less fortunate, and more. Our activities have been successful for many years thanks to our  volunteer members and generous donations from local businesses.
