A Note from Your Development Team
As the calendar turns to 5779 and our congregation begins another year together, the spirit of the High Holy Days calls us to action:
teshuvah
,
tefilah
, and
tzedakah
- repentance, prayer, and righteous giving. These sacred words remind us not only of the unique ability we have to make an impact on our community, but also our responsibility to do so.
Your support is essential to our congregation's strength. Through your participation in the Yom Kippur Appeal (YKA) we are able to provide dues relief to any family in need of assistance, support our remarkable clergy team, give the gift of Jewish education to our youth, and so much more. Your participation makes a tangible impact.
Click here
to make your YKA contribution online or call the Development Office (646-454-3052) for information about automatic recurring payments, gifts of appreciated stock, or adding a pledge to your synagogue account.
We thank you in advance for your generosity!
