Make a Donation

Your donations help us spark growth and vibrancy in our community. Last year, we filled our historic sanctuary with events that included the signature Jewish comedy of Mel Brooks, the insights of former President Barak Obama, the engaging case of the People vs. Eve, the glorious music of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and the triple wedding supporting equal rights in Israel. This year, we will reach over 35,000 people through our programs, events and classes.
