Our Summer Matching Grant gift pledge drive here will enable Beit Ahavah to kick off this new fiscal year with strength, as a warm, welcoming home for community, families and friends as we gear up planning for the busy and meaningful High Holydays that start so early this year. Every dollar, up to the first $2000 you donate, will be doubled by two members of our Board, who generously pledged to make this summer campaign possible. Thank you for giving at a level that feels right for you! Every investment makes an impact. You can make this donation in honor or memory of someone you love.
