ANNUAL HIGH HOLY DAY APPEAL
As we gather together for the High Holy Days, we are reminded that Jewish community is not meant for only a few — it is meant for all of us. At Temple Emanuel, we believe every person deserves a Jewish home: a place to pray, learn, celebrate, grieve, grow, and belong.
For many families, synagogue membership and Jewish education are not simply expenses — they are lifelines to identity, tradition, friendship, and community. Yet rising costs can place these experiences out of reach for some in our congregation and beyond.
This year’s High Holy Day Appeal will help ensure that financial hardship never becomes a barrier to belonging. Your generosity opens the doors of our community by underwriting the full household financial commitment for those families who otherwise could not afford to belong.
When you give, you help open the doors wider. You help a child celebrate Shabbat with classmates. You help a family sit together at services knowing they are welcomed and valued. You help create a community where everyone has a place.
Because everyone deserves a Jewish home.
Together, we can make sure Temple Emanuel continues to be a sacred community where every family can belong, participate, and thrive.
Our goal is to have 100% congregational participation. Large or small, any gift is meaningful! Follow along on our progress journey. Please donate here
