Yom Kippur Appeal 5784 (scroll down for service times)
Author | |
Date Added |
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

B’nai Avraham is producing a Yizkor Remembrance Book that will be used for Yom Kippur as well as the other three holidays in 5784 that we say Yizkor.
In addition to the Yizkor service text, the book will include the names of those we remember during Yizkor. You can list their names–as well as others you would like to memorialize–for $18 per name. Click here to do so.

Unfortunately, this means that we will have to close the mikvah for a period of time. While we are hoping that the mikvah pool can remain accessible during periods of the construction, we are not able to put together a definitive calendar at this time.
Therefore, if you wish to use the mikvah please call (718) 510-6903 to confirm it is open.
We look forward to welcoming you to our reopening celebration. We will also be scheduling a series of classes and events to educate and celebrate the beauty of the mikvah.
We are still looking for donors at every level. Please call to discuss sponsorship opportunities. You can make a donation through Venmo @meimenachem-mikvah or by check to Mei Menachem Community Mikvah, 117 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201.
