YOM KIPPUR APPEAL
At Kol Nidre, we appeal to those in attendance to please fulfill the mitzvah of tzedakah by way of a pledge to a range of worthy organizations doing important work in the GTA and in Israel that support Jewish values such as: combatting climate change, feeding the hungry and addressing urgent needs of those facing humanitarian crises.
Last year, funds raised from our Yom Kippur appeal were disbursed to 14 charities, with particular attention being paid to charities that deal specifically with youth mental health. This year the focus will be on the challenges arising from immigration and displacement.
Please support this appeal as generously as you can, so we can continue to do our part as a community to help heal our world. Donations in any amount will help those in need.
Online donations can be made HERE following the conclusion of Yom Kippur.
DONATE NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS
Most of us have the luxury of fasting by choice on Yom Kippur. But not everyone knows what it’s like to have food in the cupboard and fridge every day. Please help out by contributing non-perishable food items on Erev Yom Kippur for our annual food drive for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Food bank staff will be on hand at the MNjcc prior to Kol Nidre services to accept your donations.
