Tzedakah is the great Jewish tradition through which we contribute from our individual resources to help the whole community. There are many opportunities available to support the mission of Congregation Sha'ary Shalom

Why give to Congregation Sha'aray Shalom

• To honor or thank a friend or relative,
• To remember loved ones and friends,
• To celebrate a special occasion,
• To support your Congregation’s mission and commitment to excellence,
• To leave a legacy.

Because Congregation Sha'aray Shalom is...

• ...your most basic point of connection to your Jewish tradition and community through worship, education and significant life-cycle events,20
• ...a place of spirituality and learning, where people reach out to one another during times of celebration and sadness,
• ...committed to repairing our world through meaningful Social Action,

Because you and your family have found something significant here...

• ...caring Clergy and teachers,
