Dear\u00a0overseas<\/span>\u00a0members,<\/span><\/p>\n

The 5781 Tishre festival season is soon approaching, and just as we turn to our local Israeli members to renew their membership and support, we turn to you, our\u00a0overseas<\/span>\u00a0friends and partners, to renew your\u00a0overseas<\/span>\u00a0membership and support of Kehilat Har-El as well. This year in particular, due to the general and financial uncertainty that has been created as a result of the coronavirus crisis, our congregation is more than ever in need for your generosity in order to navigate this difficult period and to continue its activities, both with the limitations of the coronavirus crisis and afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kehilat Har-El, like other congregations, non-profit organizations, and many other institutions, have been hurt financially due to the coronavirus crisis.\u00a0 Har-El’s sources of income have significantly decreased, primarily due to the cancellation of most of our\u00a0overseas<\/span>\u00a0bar\/bat mitzvah ceremonies along with other factors. Yet despite all the difficulties and limitations, since the beginning of the crisis we’ve made every effort to preserve the congregation and all of its activities, first and foremost our Shabbat and holiday services, classes, and the connection with our members.\u00a0 Your generous contribution will enable Har-El to overcome these financial challenges and continue to be active and successful here in Jerusalem, in Israeli society, and in the Reform-Jewish world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overseas<\/span>\u00a0membership is a minimum contribution of $360 per year, but all contributions, large and small, are appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those living in the USA, as in years past, contributions should be made through KBY Congregations Together, and are 100% tax deductible.\u00a0 To donate online,\u00a0please click here.<\/span>\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 Checks should be made out to “KBY Congregations Together” (with a note stating that the donation is to be directed to Kehilat Har-El), and mailed to:<\/span><\/p>\n

KBY Congregations Together<\/span>
\nPO Box 23170<\/span>
\nBrooklyn, NY 11202-3170<\/span><\/p>\n

For those living outside of the USA, please contact Cantor Evan Cohen at\u00a0cantorevan@gmail.com\u00a0<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With our sincerest thanks in advance,<\/span><\/p>\n

And with wishes for a happy and sweet new year, filled with good health for you and all your dear ones,<\/span><\/p>\n
