Park Slope Jewish Center

PSJC’s Capital Campaign Challenge Match Has Started!

We need your help. As you probably know, a large construction project is about to begin at PSJC to make critical, emergency repairs to our building's facade. 

Our capital campaign has now raised $300,000 towards our $750,000 goal including a $40,000 grant we have just received through the NY Landmarks Conservancy. Momentum is building but we have a long way to go. 

As part of the overall campaign, several members of the community have agreed to donate a total of $110,000 if we can match that amount. One generous donor as even offered an additional gift if we raise $150,000! 

This means that every donation doubles the funds we receive! That's where you come in. We've launched a crowdfunding portal for this matching campaign. We need every member of PSJC to go to the site as soon as possible and support the campaign at the highest possible level to build momentum. 

Your donation will go directly to preserving the building to ensure that PJSC can continue to have a physical space in which to provide so much for so many. 

It's easy to do.

This campaign will not be successful without your support and the support of your friends and family. Thank you!

Please join us to support this critical matching campaign.

Helping kids in our neighborhood. There are homeless children living in Brooklyn with their families--and we want to give them fun snack kits to make their days cheerier. This is the first in a monthly series of Actions "to help repair our world" organized by our Rodfei Tzedek committee. Stop by--lend a hand--and in less than half an hour make a difference for someone in need.  

Contact Rabbi Carter for more information.

Bring your family and join our Shinshinim to learn how to prepare delicious Israeli dishes in HEBREW! Whether you are fluent or don’t know Alef from Bet, this will be a great opportunity to pick up some Kitchen-Hebrew and have a great time cooking with some of our amazing Shinshinim (18 year old Israelis here for a year of service). This experience is geared towards elementary-school aged children and their families. For more information, or to RSVP, please contact Rabbi Carter.

With apologies for the late notice, please note that the Etz Chaim Community Conversation scheduled for October 18 has been rescheduled to Monday, October 30, at 7:30PM. We'll meet at shul to talk about how we can "row in one direction" as an aligned, inclusive and diverse community, sharing creative strategies for possible programs and ritual/educational/cultural offerings that will help our shul community thrive. All voices warmly welcome.
