YOM TORAH

Join Us in Honoring Our Sacred Tradition
Every Pen Stroke Writes a Torah.
Every Individual Builds a Community.
For over 3,000 years, the Jewish people have cherished and preserved our sacred Torah. This year, Hevreh is proud to collaborate with Neil Yerman, a master Torah scribe (sofer), to restore our treasured scrolls.
Be part of this meaningful journey!

“And now, write for yourselves this song, and teach it to the children of Israel.” (Deuteronomy 31:19)
Your Gift Matters
Our goal is to raise $18,000 to fund the restoration of our Torahs, including the sofer’s expertise, our celebration events, the refurbishment of the ark curtains and the ongoing care of our Torah scrolls.
Matching Challenge
Thanks to a Participation Match led by Shira Nichaman & Arnie Angerman and President Lisa Sloane, every donation (large and small) will be matched to help fund this restoration. They’ve generously pledged a matching challenge of up to $9,000 to encourage our community’s generosity. The more donors we have, the greater the match! Every 50 donations doubles the size of the match.
Every contribution counts
The size of the match is based on how many people donate. We invite all community members to give at any level that feels right for you. Donations made by Religious School students in their own names will count as distinct contributions, amplifying the impact of your family’s support.
Your generosity helps us preserve our traditions and support this vital work. All donations will be recognized in Hevreh’s bulletin and displayed on a Patrons of the Ark board during the celebration. Each participant will receive a certificate, and donor names will be acknowledged unless anonymity is requested.

Together, let’s honor our heritage and create a lasting legacy. Please give what you can.
