As we reflect on the incredible series of services and events that marked our first High Holy Days and the year that followed for us at The Shtiebel, we find a beautiful metaphor in the pomegranate seedling we carefully planted last Rosh HaShanah in our courtyard.
This delicate sapling symbolises the growth and unity we are nurturing within our community. As we approach our second High Holy Days together, we see the first signs of growth from the seeds of the pomegranate tree, reflecting the foundation of a vibrant and connected Jewish community we are nurturing here at Shtiebel – a community that continues to strengthen and flourish.
At shtiebel, we operate efficiently, thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, who generously share their skills and knowledge. While our valued partners also contribute to our operational costs, it’s your philanthropic support that remains fundamental to our success.
Your generosity fuels our expansion and enhances our impact, ensuring that everyone in our community can access the support they need to engage in meaningful Jewish life.
As such, we extend a warm invitation to those who are able, to contribute as generously as possible to either the Shtiebel Benevolent Society or the Shtiebel Library Fund, or perhaps both. Your support will underwrite our work in the coming year, allowing us to continue sowing the seeds of a brighter and more connected future.
Together, we are planting the seeds of our shared destiny, nurturing them with your support, and watching them flourish into a vibrant and resilient Jewish community. Thank you for being an integral part of this beautiful journey.
