Rodef Sholom's Annual Giving Fund
Rodef Sholom's Annual Giving Fund helps keep our community vibrant — making it possible for us to celebrate Shabbat, holidays and lifecycle events; teach and learn together; perform acts of tikkun olam and fight for social justice; and build community — all while ensuring that no member of our congregation is turned away for financial reasons, and that every child is able to receive a Jewish education at our Religious School.
Rodef Sholom cannot rely on membership contributions alone to cover our operating budget each year. In fact, annual membership and tuition together pays for only 68% of our expenses. Each year, through gifts, grants, fundraising events, and this campaign, we need to raise the other 32% of our operating budget. Please join us and contribute to the campaign.
Our Annual Giving Fund not only allows us to ensure that no one is turned away for financial need, but is the way we as a community invest in our vision and demonstrate our engagement with generosity and readiness to serve our kehillah kedosha, our holy community.
Thanks to annual participation and generosity of our members - of all ages and at all stages of life - Rodef Sholom remains a dynamic congregation, a warm caring center of our Jewish life today.
