The Voice | June-July 2020

Development during a pandemic. You stood by us and we are forever grateful. We started our 2019-2020 Annual Appeal strong and reached new goals we never thought possible at our annual Yom Kippur Presidential appeal. Your dollars help make it possible each year for us to provide scholarships, cover operational costs, maintain our facilities and so much more. The days of our building being packed with our congregants and students was put to a stop because of COVID-19. Our immediate response was to start our COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund, which would provide dollars to help with staffing and operational costs that we were no longer able to cover from fees collected from programs and school. Our Annual Appeal filled more gaps in the budget then we had expected and we would not have been able to finish the year as we did had we not raised such a large amount of money during the year that helped us finish our 2019 fiscal year. We are anticipating the upcoming year to be one of the hardest fiscal years in our history, and your continued support of our Annual Appeal will be critical and deeply appreciated as we continue to serve our community during a time when community means everything. Please consider making your gift to the 2020-2021 Annual Appeal now so that we can better budget for the upcoming year. ANNUAL APPEAL Honor Roll 2019-2020 Thank you to our generous donors!
