Darkhei Noam Annual Campaign
Membership dues, Yamim Noraim ticket sales, and other income only cover about two-thirds of our operating expenses. We rely on donations from our membership to bridge the gap.
The annual campaign helps us pay rent, salaries of our executive director and youth coordinator, security, children’s programming, kiddush food and so much more.
