The High Holy Days are a time of reflection and connection, reminding us of our duty to care for one another and the world around us.  It is an opportunity to invoke the Jewish values of tzedakah, giving what each of us is able to give and of tikkun olam, repairing the world.

This is a time of renewal and coming home for our community.  Whilst bringing the building work to completion has been a priority, we remain committed to helping those who need our care and assistance.  We are able to do this with your generous donations to the Alyth funds which are at the heart of our communal giving.  These contributions enable us to support the varied needs of Alyth members of all ages, as well as projects and causes beyond our communal necessities.

Details of the Clergy Jewish Participation Fund, the Community Care Fund and the Social Justice Development Fund can be found inside.

The community funds are a lifeline to many.  With your help, we can continue to care for and sustain our members and those around us.

Thank you for being a partner in making the world a better place.

The Clergy Jewish Participation Fund ensures that all of our members are able to lead full Jewish lives through participating in programmes and activities that are run and organised by Alyth and by other external organisations, without finance being a barrier to participation.

The Clergy Jewish Participation Fund provides support for members of every age who may need financial assistance to come to our Kindergarten, to go on Alyth and other Summer schemes or Israel Tour, to attend weekends away and other Jewish community conferences and events.

 

The Alyth Community Care Fund supports those who need dedicated support, activities and social interactions. It also funds welfare and wellbeing activities, and provides financial support at critical moments to those who
need it most.

Community and mutual care is more needed than ever before – being able share a meal, have a chat, and see one another at services and weekly activities. With funds from the Community Care Fund we are able to offer a varied programme of social and cultural activities, transport services to bring people to and from Alyth, and that extra bit of professional help when it’s needed most.

 

The Social Justice Development Fund was established to express the value of tzedek (justice), supporting ongoing and new social justice projects that members of our community lead or in which we partner with other communities.

This fund is a vehicle for Alyth to address social, racial, and economic justice through our support for refugees, homelessness, the environment and the development of strong interfaith relationships locally and further afield.

 

The Alyth Charities Fund is set up to enable our community to support a range of external charities and causes. We do this by giving small grants to discrete projects, locally, nationally, in Israel, and the wider world. It also allows us to respond promptly to emergency appeals. The fund enables us to live the important value of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and to work together with like-minded organisations who are committed to creating a better, safer world.

Applications are welcome from external charities and from Alyth members on behalf of charities that they care about.
