Donors

We are thankful to our donors whose generosity and commitment make it possible for us to train the next generation of rabbis, support and uplift congregations and havurot, foster emerging expressions of Jewish life, and encourage people to be their best selves — always helping to shape what it means to be Jewish today and to imagine the Jewish future. We would also like to acknowledge with gratitude the generous and committed supporters of Camp Havaya and Havaya Arts.
