Donate to High Holiday Tzedakah

Giving tzedakah is a long-standing Jewish custom at the High Holidays.  This year’s recommended recipients are:

  • National Fund for Abortion Access
  • ID Ministry at Foundry United Methodist Church
  • Project Hope
  • Fabrangen Immigrants and Refugee Committee

Support Fabrangen’s High Holiday Services

Combine your Tzedakah donations with a donation to Fabrangen.

Our services are always open to everyone for free, but we encourage you to donate to Fabrangen to support our High Holiday Services. Because of increased security and technology costs, we suggest a donation of $150 per adult.

Bundling your donations through Fabrangen increases our impact on the recipient organizations.
