Why Does a Synagogue Need Insurance?

A synagogue is more than a building. It is a gathering place, a school, and a community hub. Insurance helps protect the congregation and leadership from property losses, injury claims, employment disputes, and event-related incidents.

What Does Synagogue Insurance Cover?

Synagogue insurance can cover the building and contents, liability for injuries on site, claims tied to staff and volunteers, and losses from theft, vandalism, or certain interruptions to operations after a covered event.

Slip-and-fall after services

A congregant trips on a wet entryway during kiddush and needs medical care. General liability can help with medical costs, legal defense, and a settlement if the synagogue is found responsible.

Fire damage to the sanctuary

An electrical issue sparks a fire that damages the bimah, seating, and sound system. Property coverage can help pay for repairs and replacement of damaged contents, subject to the policy terms.
