Add Your Name to the Caring Wall

The first day of this Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat. 

Shabbat is G-d’s answer to the pressure that fills our days. For 25 hours, we stop responding to every demand for our attention. We make protected space for G-d, our families, our community, and our Jewish souls.

The entire year of 5787 is framed by Shabbat and its invitation to make space for what matters most.

Will you help make that possible for someone in Ottawa?

Your High Holiday gift will help personally invite people who might otherwise make no plans. It will also help prepare meaningful services, children’s programs, holiday meals, security, and a warm welcome when they arrive.

Every seat must be prepared for before anyone sits in it.

During the High Holidays, we will display a Caring Wall containing the names of the people whose gifts helped make these experiences possible.

A guest may see your name before ever meeting you. The wall carries a message:

"We care about you. We were hoping you would come."

Requests for anonymity will always be respected.

Maybe you can give $180. Perhaps you can give $360 or $540. If you have been especially blessed this year, please consider a gift of $3,600. Every gift is appreciated. Please give according to your ability.

Please make your High Holiday gift today and help someone in find a meaningful place for prayer, celebration, friendship, and Jewish community.

All donations are tax-deductible.
