It has been a long time since I have had to reach out to you for financial assistance. But for the sake of our beautiful community – I need to reach out for your help to make ends meet this summer.

In the last four years, we have built a glorious Kehillah together, with the help of Hashem. Our Kehillah is a source of pride and joy for each and everyone of us, and a shining example for so many others who are affected by it around the world. 

The summer months are always difficult, but this summer in particular, I find myself trying to keep this ship sailing and I am asking you to please partner with me in ensuring that our Kehillah can sail smoothly through the summer!

If you have already answered the Rabbi's appeal, please accept this as a warm "thank you"!

Down With Double Standards
"How would you feel if a good friend, a seemingly religious Jew – wears a Kippah and Tzitzit, prays every day, eats Kosher food, observes the Shabbat, is always kind to others – sent you an invitation to his daughters wedding? You would certainly be happy and grateful, would you not?
Would your reaction be different if it contained a message missionizing you to another faith?..."
