In Judaism, charity is not merely an act of giving; it is a mitzvah, or moral commitment of faith. The root of the Hebrew word tzedakah means much more than charity; it is a combination of righteousness, fairness, and justice.

​

Today, each gift to Adath Emanu-El reflects this tradition. Your support makes possible inspiring worship services; educational opportunities for all ages; Jewish cultural programming; fulfillment of our commitment to tikkun olam (repairing the world); caring for our congregational community in times of need and times of joy; membership to all who wish to join regardless of ability to pay; and maintenance and preservation of our building.
