At Adat Shalom, we’re building something special—a spiritually dynamic, inclusive and diverse, community rooted in connection, learning, and justice. Whether you’re passionate about tikkun olam (repairing the world), Jewish education, meaningful ritual, or ensuring a strong future for the next generation, your support helps make it all possible.
We are a community that values participation in every component of our communal life. Membership dues and program fees only cover part of what it takes to sustain our community. Your donation—of any size—directly supports the heart of who we are and what we do together.
People give for all kinds of reasons: to honor a loved one, mark a life moment, support our annual fund, or include Adat Shalom in a legacy plan. Whatever your reason, your generosity has a real impact.
The Future is Now
Our High Holiday Appeal – The Future is Now Campaign – is focused on building capacity across our community and setting us up for sustainable growth.
A gift to the Future is Now campaign will enable us to focus on capacity-building efforts such as:
Human Capital, allowing us to hire inspiring clergy and dedicated educators, exceptional artists, musicians and leading thinkers and facilitators into our community.
Affordability, making membership accessible to all allows those of limited means to fully participate in all aspects of our communal life.
Physical Infrastructure, ensuring that our Sanctuary, educational wing, our beautiful grounds and workspaces reflect our current needs and our vision for growth.
Accessibility, removing barriers and planning with inclusion in mind so that our community is welcoming for everyone.
Please make an investment in the future of Adat Shalom. The future is now.
We will be accepting donations for The Future is Now Campaign until Passover, and we welcome conversations about shared priorities. If you’d like to discuss a major gift, please email giving@adatshalom.net or click here.
