Why We Give

For over 5,000 years, Jewish teaching have emphasized the importance of Tzedakah (Hebrew for charity).  Unlike voluntary giving, Tzedakah is considered an ethical and moral obligation to give regardless of one’s financial resources

To Whom We Give

The simple answer: You, the community.  We provide funding to agencies and organizations that meet the basic needs of the less fortunate, as well as projects and initiatives that benefit the community, the state and in some cases our nation

LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS

The Kaddish is also known as the “Mourner’s Prayer” and is recited to honor the dead. Reciting the Kaddish is a customary tradition and allows Jews to collectively reflect on life and family and is a mitzvah. Jews recite the kaddish together to affirm their faith and to provide the mourner comfort that they are not alone. It is the only thing that comes to my mind as I watch all the news in Israel.  The English translation of the last two verses resonate during this time:

‘May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in His celestial heights,
may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.’
