Be a Part of Our Legacy & Join Our Exciting YIS Expansion w/ the 200+ Families Who Have Already Generously Pledged - Help Us Build the Future of Am Yisrael!

Rabbi Morgenstern and our devoted expansion committee have shared with us a compelling case for how and why our YIS Capital Campaign is so important, not just for the future of our community - for our children and grandchildren - but also for the future of an engaged, vibrant and connected Am Yisrael in this country. 

We are working on creating another exciting and inspiring year of programs and speakers that will continue to impact and elevate our community.

Please help us fulfill our ambitious goal of $15,000,000+. So far, thanks to the incredible generosity of 200+ families in our community, we have already eclipsed $14,000,000 in this exciting capital raise. However, this incredible achievement only reflects close to 50% of our congregation, and we humbly call upon ALL OF YOU to participate in this once-in-a-generation project in a way that is meaningful to you and to your family. 

Your pledge (which can be paid out over 3 - 5 years) will secure the Jewish future for years to come in our expanded facility that will serve the needs of the thousands that will continue to hear our unique message, be inspired by our Shul's dynamic energy and live our Jewish lives in a way that perpetuates a love of Torah, Am Yisrael, and Medinat Yisrael. 

Thank you, in advance, for your commitment to partner with us in

“Building the Future of Am Yisrael, One Brick at a Time”.

i-Shine, a Chai Lifeline program

i-Shine, a Chai Lifeline program, designed to meet the unique needs of elementary and middle school-aged children living with loss or illness in their families, will be returning to Westchester Day School this fall. We meet once a week on Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30pm. Our first session is October 29th and we finish on May 13th. We are once again looking for drivers to transport the kids from their respective schools (SAR, WTA, Leffell School) to WDS and then back to their homes (New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale, Hartsdale and Riverdale) at the end of the session. We are hoping to need you to drive only once a month. (We only need you to drive one way) 


Please email Daphne Rawson (drawson2@verizon.net) or Linda Zucker (linda.zucker@gmail.com) if you can be an i-Shine driver this year or if you have any questions.
