Yom Kippur Appeal 5784             (scroll down for service times)

Dear Friends,   “Repentance, prayer and charity avert the evil decree.” Starting with Kol Nidre, and for the following 25 hours, we will reflect on these themes as we fast and pray.   Giving in observance of Yom Kippur is especially important. It is said that the jingling of coins given on erev Yom Kippur creates such a clamor in Heaven that all the forces of evil cannot stand in their way.     On Kol Nidrei, we ask all of our members and friends for contributions to help us raise $50,000 during the High Holidays and meet our 2023 budget. The next time we ask you for support will be our annual Gala next summer – so your gift for Yom Kippur will have to last us for half a year or more.    This is a particularly auspicious time to give, as an anonymous family has offered to match donations, dollar for dollar. This means that your gift will go twice as far: $100 becomes $200, $250 becomes $500, and $500 becomes $1,000.   Please click here to give online (for "Type," toggle to Kol Nidre Appeal).   Thank you for your contribution. Your support – in any amount – makes a big difference.   G’mar chatima tova,   Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin Spiritual Leader   Brooke A. Bryant, PhD President
