Yom Kippur Appeal 5776
Dear Friends,
This is Our Home. Ahavath Torah is your home to develop a relationship with God, celebrate milestones, connect with friends, and learn together with the Rabbis.
Where is Your Place? In a large congregation such as ours, each of us can find a unique place in the many activities and minyanim that make up our home.
But how do we actually find our place? In a congregation our size it is easy to blend into the background. But just observing opportunities from the sidelines is not enough. Therefore we must rely on each other, support each other, and be active rather than passive members. Some of us have more time and wherewithal to play a more active role than others. Fortunately, we are blessed to have congregants who are wonderfully active, with the spirit of both chesed and generosity. That is how we all find our place and that is what makes up a community. And in order to sustain this community we need everyone to invest in our spiritual home in every way possible.
By participating in the Yom Kippur Appeal you ensure that Our Home remains Your Place where you can find Your Own Opportunities for social and religious growth.
For those who are able, we ask that you consider increasing your donation by either one category from last year or increasing your donation by at least 10%. Those making this increased commitment will be specially honored.
