What is the L'Chaim Campaign?
​
L’Chaim: To Life, To Community, To Adath
​

L’Chaim is Adath Jeshurun’s annual High Holy Days campaign—and the beating heart of everything we do. Through L'Chaim, you fuel joyful Jewish learning, meaningful prayer and connection, acts of hesed (loving kindness), and the daily work of building a vibrant, inclusive community.

Whether this is your first L’Chaim gift or one of many, thank you. You sustain us.

​This year, we invite you to give from the heart—and, if you’re able, to increase your gift by 18% (chai) as a powerful act of renewal, purpose, and hope for the year ahead.

Many Doors to Jewish Life

Many Doors to Jewish Life is Adath's congregational theme. Each Door represents a core area of communal life and purpose, helping congregants, leaders, and donors alike understand how different programs and efforts support Adath's mission and integrate into our theme of Many Doors to Jewish Life. The L'Chaim High Holy Day Campaign widens each of these doors.

A Culture of Generosity

Giving at Adath is centered in passion, gratitude, transparency, and impact. We believe that everyone can be part of sustaining Jewish life, no matter your background or life stage. We invite all who can give of their time and treasures to do so passionately.

At Adath, we believe that giving generously isn’t about the size of your gift — it’s about investing in the things that bring you passion and joy and then sharing your passion and joy with others.
