Congregation Beth Tikvah Ahavat Shalom-Nusach HoAri is a 59-year-old Sephardic-tradition synagogue in Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, Quebec, with a notably engaged 25-person board, 83.4% program spending, and stable revenue around $1.3M. The 2023-2024 books show modest deficit spending and a 51.2% compensation ratio that reflects the labour-intensive ministry, education, and community-services model of a synagogue.
Our Verdict: An established Quebec synagogue with sound governance, healthy program spending, and a labour-intensive cost structure typical of clergy-and-education congregations; donors should understand that compensation IS the program in synagogue ministry.
