“Charity outweighs all other commitments.” – Talmud

Annual Giving Campaign 5780

“Charity outweighs all other commitments” – Talmud

Our shul is blessed with riches. While membership dues cover only about 45% of operating costs, we’re here 100% of the time. If it’s for Torah study, a Shabbat service, a bar or bat mitzvah, a condolence call, or quiet contemplation in the library with friends, you’ll find it here.

So many members don’t know exactly when or how they’ll need the synagogue – but invariably they do, as life presents its challenges and opportunities. Your generosity helps fund many of the programs and educational opportunities that draw us all in. Your continued commitment to the Annual Giving Program sustains us for future generations. As you consider how to give, please join the Rabbi’s Circle at the level that works for you. Make tzedakah part of your annual pledge to strengthen our kehilla. Any amount you are able to give, know that your contribution helps our kehillah grow and thrive.

Your support this year will:

• Engage individuals and whole families at every level. Your gifts provided over $300,000 in dues reduction to support nearly 270 families in 2017-2018.
• Nurture young Jewish learners. Your AGP contributions provided for nearly $100,000 in tuition scholarships in our youth programs.
• Deepen our connections through prayer, programming and Jewish learning with our visionary and dedicated clergy. Allow our inspirational rabbis and cantor to guide you through Koleinu Choir, Back To Shul, Soul Shabbat, Israel360, Talmud and Bible study, and Family Camp.

Every gift matters – thank you for your contribution.

For more information please contact Dena Marshall, Development Director at dmarshall@nevehshalom.org or call 503-246-8831 x144.

Todah rabah!
