Donating to a synagogue? Here's how it works
Beita runs the public donor portal where you find your synagogue and give in a single click — with a receipt emailed within minutes. (Section 46(a) receipts — the tax-deductible receipt Israel's Tax Authority issues for gifts to registered nonprofits — are coming soon.)

Give in a click
Beita is built for donating to a synagogue in Israel. Every synagogue that runs on Beita offers the same simple, clear process.
1. Find the synagogue
Search by name, city or neighborhood. If your synagogue uses Beita, it's on the list.
2. Choose an amount and method
Credit card, Bit, or a monthly standing order. The money goes straight to the synagogue's own nonprofit account.
3. Section 46(a) receipt by email Coming soon
Automatic receipt generation is in development. For now, the synagogue's nonprofit issues receipts manually through its iCount or EasyCount account. The automatic service switches on once the Tax Authority signs off.
Tell your gabbai about Beita
Beita is a complete management system for synagogues — not just donations. If yours isn't using it yet, you could be the one who gets it started.
3 minutes, one WhatsApp message
Copy this message and send it to your gabbai or rabbi — most are glad to take a look.
Hi, I saw there is a system called Beita that manages synagogues — a digital screen with prayer times, member management, and donations with automatic Section 46(a) receipts (coming soon). Looks like it could make things easier for you. They give 30 days free, no commitment: beita.co.il/en/for-gabbai
Why give through Beita?
Beita isn't a donation organization — it's the system your synagogue runs on. Your gift goes straight to the synagogue, not through a middleman.
No Beita fee
0% fee from Beita. You only pay the payment processor (1.2% credit card / 1.5% Bit / 1.2% standing order). The money lands directly in the synagogue's nonprofit account.
Section 46(a) receipt (coming soon)
Issued the moment you give, emailed to you, digitally signed, and valid with Israel's Tax Authority.
Data security
Payment runs through the processor under PCI-DSS standards. Beita never touches your card details, and your donation data stays in Israel.
