The High Holidays. This truly is a wonderful time of the year to come together with joy and solemnity….with feasting and fasting…and with prayer and inspiration. It is the time of year when we seek out family and embrace our shul community.

In celebration of the season, in 2022 we have taken a giant leap in our financial commitment to strengthen and sustain our shul. Our Leadership Donors have responded generously: Gold Leadership Donors have contributed $10,000; Silver Leadership Donors $5,000, and Bronze Leadership Donors $2,500. In fact, we have already surpassed last year’s total High Holiday giving, which also set a record.

Now we need you to step up. Because of the generosity of our Leadership Donors, every dollar you contribute will be matched 2:1. Your support will help keep the heat on and the air conditioner humming. Your support will enable repairs to the synagogue building and upgrades to the parsonage — our major assets. The funding will also support our hybrid services and programs…and the start of a Hebrew School for our kids.

At this time of the year, when we are united as one people, as one community, please remember that our shul…the soul and spirit of our community…needs your support.

L’Shanah Tovah to our shul family.
