HIGH HOLY DAYS SPONSORSHIPS 

Please consider being a “sponsor” of Achduth Vesholom’s High Holy Days 5785. Your generous gift will be used for needs during the holidays and beyond, from replenishing the floral fund to assisting with security, music, technology, and congregational events.

Sponsors who donate $54 or more by Friday, September 20 will be recognized in our holiday announcements.

Jewish tradition encourages making tzedakah (charitable gifts) in multiples of 18, which is spelled chai and also means “life.” Donations offered in any amount will be greatly appreciated.

We’re proud to be one congregation with two worship traditions. Whether your customary gift is through sponsoring aliyot during Conservative services or your annual donation contributes to other congregational needs, we value and appreciate your assistance.

We have several ways to give:

  • Donate online and choose “High Holy Days” on the dropdown menu. Please indicate if your gift is “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person, or celebrates an occasion.
  • For aliyot during our Conservative service, please contact Josh Tourkow at jtourkow@tcrjlaw.com. (To donate online, choose “High Holy Days – Aliyot” on the dropdown menu and indicate if your gift is “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person, or celebrates an occasion.)
  • Send a check payable to “CAV- The Temple” to sponsor the High Holy Days (5200 Old Mill Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46807).

 

MACHZORIM ARE AVAILABLE TO BORROW

For those attending services online for the High Holy Days, we are making the Temple’s machzorim (holiday prayer books) available for congregants to borrow during the Days of Awe for both Reform and Conservative worship. Find out more

 

SUPPORT HIGH HOLY DAYS FOOD DRIVE WITH THANKSGIVING ITEMS

This year for the High Holy Days, we’re asking you to help those who need food assistance get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. Wellspring Interfaith Social Services, which counts the Temple among its congregational faith partners, will provide all the fixings their clients need to enjoy a delicious holiday meal. And we can help!

Please take a paper grocery bag from the lobby on Rosh Hashanah and return it on Yom Kippur with the following items in cans or boxes:

Mashed potatoes, stuffing, mushroom soup, green beans, sweet potatoes, cake mix/frosting, gratin potatoes/scalloped, gravy, french fried onions

If shopping is not your thing, we accept checks! Write a check to “Wellspring Interfaith Social Services” for any amount you can donate, get it to Temple, and we will take all checks to Wellspring.

You can always make a direct donation at www.wellspringinterfaith.org.  

Fill yourself with the holiday spirit and give what you can!

Thank you from the Social Action Committee!
