This year we are honored to expand our High Holy Day Appeal with the creation of the Toby and Rabbi Jack Segal Education Initiative, which will support vital Jewish experiences and resources for children, teens and adult members of Congregation Beth Yeshurun to enhance their spiritual and intellectual connections to Judaism. With the strong support of Rhona and Bruce Caress, we are excited to launch this meaningful tribute, and upon reaching our Appeal goal, a portion of funds raised for the Chai Appeal will be allocated to the Toby and Rabbi Jack Segal Education Initiative, thereby allowing us to utilize this fund now and for years to come.
We are especially grateful for the members of the Tzedakah Society, a group of members, who are standing together to double the impact of your donation by matching Appeal pledges and contributions dollar for dollar.
