About the Appeal

Shaaray Tefila’s largest fundraiser, 2024/5785 Annual Appeal, is coming soon!

This is the most important campaign of the year because of the strong financial impact that the Annual Appeal will make in the year ahead. Your contribution enables us to continue to enhance our spiritual offerings, offer diverse programming and educational initiatives for all ages, allowing us to expand our reach, and nourish our community. 

By supporting our Annual Appeal you will:

• Enhance our community celebrations such as Rosh Hashanah 2nd Day Service, Chanukah community candle lighting, MLK Shabbat Service with the Harlem Gospel Choir, Purim Celebration, and enjoy gatherings with diverse speakers, Social Club and Sisterhood events, Men’s Engagement gatherings, Young Couples Group, book club, and more.
• Enable our Social Justice efforts by supporting our volunteers working towards a better and more equitable world through our ongoing Food Insecurity programs such as Backpack Buddies and Soup Kitchen, as well as postcard drives encouraging voting in marginalized communities.
• Provide transformational musical experiences through our adult and youth choirs, Artist in Residence Weekend, and the Cantors’ Concert.
• Create a nurturing environment that builds a foundation of a love of Judaism and Jewish life for our youngest members in our Nursery School by welcoming these families as members, offering Tot Shabbat services, and fostering important connections for parents with babies and toddlers in our Parenting Program.
• Ensure opportunities for every school-age child to fully participate in Religious School by providing scholarships to those in need, to enhance our community amongst these families by attending Big Tent Shabbat, and furthering the teens’ connections through the Pathways program.
