OUR ANNUAL YOM KIPPUR APPEAL
Dear Congregants and Friends of Nishmat Am,
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a sacred time in the Jewish calendar when individuals and communities come together to seek forgiveness, engage in introspection, and renew their commitments to leading lives of purpose and kindness. As the holiest day of the year, it offers a unique opportunity for heartfelt prayer and meaningful connection to our spiritual values. It is also a day that compels us to consider the broader responsibilities we hold toward our community and our fellow Jews.
The themes of Yom Kippur—repentance, reflection, and renewal—are intertwined with the essential mitzvah of tzedakah. Jewish tradition teaches that acts of charity and kindness are integral to spiritual growth and redemption. They embody the principle that healing the soul is inherently connected to caring for others.
In preparation for the upcoming Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, Nishmat Am traditionally reaches out to members and friends to consider our Annual Yom Kippur Appeal. Our appeal for donations during Yom Kippur is not merely a financial request; it is an invitation to participate in the transformative act of giving. It is a way to honor the values of the season by extending support to your synagogue and community.
We do this in advance of the holidays so that by making and paying your pledge early (either in whole or in part) you will be helping us during the sluggish cash flow months of the summer, when we must keep up with our financial obligations.
In addition, our Yizkor Memorial Booklet which includes the Yizkor service used on Yom Kippur and other major Jewish holidays can also include the names of beloved departed family members in a poignant remembrance. Use the form here or go online here to submit your names for the booklet at $18 per name. You may also honor martyrs and victims of terror throughout Jewish history by listing your name on the Kiddush Hashem page for $36.
Please consider supporting these important synagogue services by completing and returning the form or going online here to make your pledge.
The teachings of Judaism encourage us to be responsible for our brothers and sisters. Donations can help pass these teachings on to future generations and keep Judaism alive and vibrant! Thank you for your generous support!
Les Schachter, President
