Dear Friends,
YISE is making our Yom Kippur Appeals this year online, with an option for a phone-in donation. You can make your contributions on-line by using this form, or you can contact the office (301-593-4465 x103 or office@yise.org) to make your contribution. Please include the name of anyone you would like to honor or remember with this donation.
The Kol Nidre Appeal is for the purpose of the general Shul operations. If you read my message in the Hashomer, you saw that the Shul has been very busy in terms of improvements, including purchasing the House next door. We have already begun incorporating the House into our weekly operations, such as housing the youth minyan and kiddush, youth groups, and placing tents in the backyard of the House to allow for another usable site for events. This is on top of the day-to-day maintenance expenses of keeping our Shul open and available for our members. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
The Yizkor Appeal is dedicated to youth programming. I mentioned the significant use the youth make of the House. Our increased use, which has increased the number of youth attending the various Shabbos activities, means an increase in the number of leaders the Shul must hire. Additionally, I am very excited to announce that the Shul has hired Jay Marcus as our new Youth Director. Jay has hit the ground running, and we look forward to Jay's leadership. We also have a wonderful year of events planned for our youth. All of the youth-focused events, including regular Shabbos activities, require funding, and your contributions to the Yizkor Appeal go a long way toward covering the expenses. Please give generously, as our youth are our future.
We plan on printing the donations on a separate handout next Shabbos, as a way of acknowledging your generosity. Please let us know if you do not want to be listed.
Wishing all of you a meaningful fast and a G'mar Tov,
Yale Ginsburg, President
