Thinking About Giving

Thinking about Giving…Many of our congregations rightfully take advantage of record attendance at services during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to explain the myriad programs that they offer and then ask for financial support. At Cardin, as we plan for various needs, it important for donors and prospective donors to think about why they give, and what they hope the gift will accomplish. As a Jewish day school community, the best question to ponder when thinking about giving is what compels you to send your child to Cardin? Can you think of a particular moment when you knew this was the right choice?

The economic times are a challenge, but as you are aware our need is great. So, think about giving. In Psalms 106:3 it says, “Happy are those who act justly, who do righteousness (tzedakah) at all time. Be happy!
