Our Annual Appeal, previously called the Yom Kippur Appeal, is the synagogue’s most important fundraiser and largest source of revenue aside from membership dues. Your gift provides dues assistance for any member family in need (a high priority during this challenging year), covers program expenses, supports our clergy, and helps with any other unanticipated needs. For example, at the start of the pandemic, funds from the Yom Kippur Appeal helped us move quickly to enhance our technology and provide virtual services and programs.
In a once-in-a-generation crisis, we exceeded our fundraising goal for Yom Kippur Appeal 2022/5783 and raised $1.9 million. This extraordinary demonstration of our community’s unwavering commitment to one another is so heartening.
Thank you for your generosity!
