Repeal The Appeal!

We all know it. No one wants to hear a fundraising pitch in the middle of our beautiful Kol Nidrei services.
So please, help us get rid of it.

If we reach our goal of raising $60,000 in Kol Nidrei appeals or extra High Holy Day donations by
September 30, we will cancel it.
Help repeal the appeal by adding an extra donation today by clicking here.

Choose "Fundraising initiative or Event ticket" and then "Kol Nidre Appeal" in the drop down box.

Click here for High Holiday Parking information and signage for your car window.

Join us for a night of dinner and dancing at the TBE Kadimah! Gala on November 1 at 7pm. 

Place an ad in our digital ad journal to show your appreciation of our honorees here. (Deadline for submission is October 15)
