Donate to the "Fund for our Future"
As the installation weekend celebrates my new role as Senior Rabbi and the wonderful, positive growth of B’nai Jeshurun,
our dynamic, rejuvenated community is forward focused, united and stronger than ever. Our congregation has exciting
new initiatives and a vision that will benefit tremendously from the creation of the “Fund for our Future.” 
- Rabbi Rudin-Luria

The “Fund for our Future” supports B’nai Jeshurun’s new vision and helps seed and support our current new projects including the Wellness Center and The Bridge Downtown as well as provide initial funding for future initiatives.

We will begin with a defining narrative of the Jewish journey, Akeidat Yitzhak, “the Binding of Isaac” —showcasing a brilliant visual interpretation composed by contemporary artist David Moss.
