While the Jewish year 5780 ended several months ago, the tax year of 2020 ends tonight. For most of you this means that dozens of organizations are sending you a last minute fundraising pitch or sharing with you their accomplishments of the last 12 months. If you are like me, perhaps you click on some and ignore others. I found myself impressed by the organizations that went above and beyond to overcome the unique challenges of the pandemic and what they did to help those in need. I then sent them some money and a note of encouragement, which is sometimes more valuable than the check.
Watching the video to the right reminded me how privileged I am to work alongside
an amazing team of dedicated professionals and lay leaders who give it their all to
help individuals and community institutions. From Advocacy to Zoom webinars,
from the Siyum Hashas (watch the new highlight video here) to our COVID
response, my Agudah colleagues have been there for you. For those that
contributed to our earlier campaigns, I hope you will take pride in the work you made
possible.
But there is more work to be done. Please consider making an additional
contribution here so that we can expand our advocacy efforts in statehouses and
courthouses, reach more Georgia voters next week (see below), and assist more
people. Please add a few words in the comment box about how the Agudah’s work
impacted you and which of our divisions or individuals deserve special recognition.
It would mean so much to them. If you have a regional office serving your state,
please consider making a gift to them as well.
