DecDecember 8 , 2025Kesher Annual Fundraiser
Monday, Dec 8th 12:00p to Tuesday, Dec 9th 11:59p
In recent months, Kesher has received overwhelming support for our historic capital campaign. We are both proud and deeply appreciative for the generosity of our supporters, who are enabling us to develop our new building. While we are excited to see that campaign bear fruit in the not-too-distant future, we are also mindful that Kesher has both obligations and tremendous opportunities to foster our social, intellectual, and spiritual community right now. Towards that end, we are delighted to announce the beginning of our 2025 annual fundraiser and its theme: Strengthening Today as We Build for Our Future. On Monday, December 8th, we will be partnering with Charidy, an online crowdfunding platform, to raise $180,000. For just 36 hours, your gift will be quadrupled! This is your opportunity to reinforce the organization that makes Modern Orthodox Jewish life in downtown DC possible. Whatever your connection - visited for a summer internship or have been a member for life - Kesher has been at the center, bringing all of us together as one community. This is our chance to strengthen Kesher together. To provide your gift early, click here to donate directly to Kesher. For the donation type, please select “Fundraiser Fall - 2025”. We know our community can grow today even while we have an eye on the future. This is our opportunity to make it happen! Mark your calendars! From the morning of Monday, December 8, until the evening of December 9, Kesher will be partnering with Charidy, an online crowdfunding platform, to raise $180,000 for the congregation. For just 36 hours, your gift will be quadrupled! This is your opportunity to invest in the shul that makes Modern Orthodox Jewish life in downtown DC possible. Whatever your connection—an alum who visited for a summer internship or a lifetime member—Kesher has been at the center, bringing all of us together as one community. This is our chance to secure Kesher’s future together -
