Annual Campaign

We are thrilled to welcome Rabbi David Helfand as the new spiritual leader of Shaare Torah! Rabbi Helfand brings a deep passion for community building, experiential Jewish learning, and storytelling that will enrich our congregation's journey forward.
 
This year, our High Holidays theme, "Rooted and Reaching," beautifully encapsulates our dual commitment: honoring our rich traditions while aspiring toward growth and renewal. It reflects our dedication to nurturing a vibrant, inclusive community that supports each member's spiritual and personal development.
 
Your support of our Annual Campaign is vital. Membership dues and tuition alone do not cover the full cost of sustaining the programs and services that make Shaare Torah a sacred and special community. Your generosity ensures that we can continue to thrive, embracing both our heritage and our aspirations.
 
Thank you for being an integral part of our community. Together, we are rooted in tradition and reaching toward a vibrant future.

 

We appreciate your pledge!
