Torah Fund
Now that we've celebrated Cantor Bruce and appreciated all of his achievements and all of the wonderful activities and services he has given to Congregation Habonim, it's time to wonder - what is it that helps a Cantor or a Rabbi, any Conservative Jewish clergy member, get ready to contribute to the community?
The word EDUCATION comes to mind. Your donation to the B'Yachad Torah Fund will support scholarships, programming, and facilities at institutions including our own JTS (the Jewish Theological Seminary) in Manhattan.
Any amount is helpful, as these institutions are what keep Conservative Judaism alive & well. It's easy to donate online at: https://inspired.jtsa.edu/give/314821/#!/donation/checkout
Please remember to mention Sisterhood of Congregation Habonim on the online donation form.
B'Yachad, TOGETHER, we can move forward into future generations!
If you have any questions, please feel free to email sisterhood@habonim.net
Purim Fundraiser 2021
This year, in addition to funds raised to support Congregation Habonim, the Sisterhood of Congregation Habonim was pleased to sponsor another Purim mitzvah, matanot l'evyonim -- giving gifts to the poor through support of charitable organizations.
Thank you to the many generous donors who made this year's Purim Fundraiser a success:
