Yom Kippur Appeal 5787/2026

Dear Members and Friends,

Yom Kippur is a day that carries the weight of the entire year. It is a time to pause, reflect, seek forgiveness, and prepare ourselves to meet the challenges and possibilities of the year ahead.

Earlier this year, we invited our community to help our shul go from Strength to Strength through a campaign focused on three pillars: Community, Torah, and Security. Thanks to your generosity, we have already made meaningful progress. We have expanded learning opportunities, created new avenues for family engagement, and strengthened the security of our synagogue.

As we approach Yom Kippur, we ask you to help us continue that momentum.

Our annual budget makes possible the prayer services, Torah learning, family programs, and community experiences that bring people together throughout the year. For many, these offerings are the first step toward a deeper connection with Judaism and with our community.

And our community is growing. We have recently welcomed 50 new members, including 14 children—a powerful sign of the vitality and promise of our shul. Your support enables us to welcome these new families while continuing to nurture the spiritual growth of members who have been part of our community for generations.

We invite you to make a Yom Kippur gift and help our synagogue continue to go from strength to strength:

As we look toward the new year, may our community continue to grow, learn, pray, and care for one another.

As we say at the conclusion of each book of the Torah:

Chazak, chazak, v’nischazeik.

May we all be strengthened in the year to come.

With gratitude,
