Donor Funds
Giving is part of our Jewish heritage and our Jewish way of life. We support our Kehillah Kedosha, our holy Jewish community of Adath Shalom, by giving tzedakah to commemorate simchas and milestones, to honor the accomplishments of family members and others, to honor the memory of our loved ones and to show our gratitude. Donations are tax deductible, and the honoree will be notified of your generosity. Adath Shalom thanks you!

Open Door Minyan
For over the past 8 years, our congregation has been hosting monthly programming for adults in the community who have special needs. Many of our guests join us from Jewish Services for the Developmentally Disabled Residences, though we also have guests who live in other home environments. By supporting Open Door Minyan, it will allow us to continue to create special programming for our guests. Donations help to fund the food for kiddush luncheon, differentiated craft projects and inclusive community wide special events.
Our monthly program includes a Shabbat service utilizing a special prayer book created especially for our guests, and designed specifically for prayer interaction. Volunteers sit with our guests to assist. Guests receive parts, known as Aliyot during the service. Rabbi and Cantor sing songs, and we enjoy kiddush lunch and participate in a craft project. Adath Shalom's Open Door Minyan is one of the jewels of our congregation. We invite you to join us and share the in the beauty of the Open Door Minyan.
