September 2021 Fund in Focus: Poltava/Odessa Fund
We have long enjoyed a special relationship with our sister Reform congregation (also called Beth Am) in Poltava, Ukraine. Thanks to our community’s generosity, Beth Am of Poltava is able to help its members rediscover Jewish life after missing out on it for generations.
Recently, we had the great opportunity to connect as well with the Reform congregation Shirat Ha-Yam (Song of the Sea) in Odessa, Ukraine. Our support — community to community — nurtures the rebirth of Jewish connection after many years of repression, neglect and antisemitism. With each child we help these communities educate, each holiday we help them celebrate, Beth Am of Los Altos Hills is making miracles for the Jews of Ukraine. Thank you for your continued support.
Please consider a donation to the Poltava/Odessa Fund in celebration and gratitude for your family simcha or to honor a loved one. You can make your donation online or by mailing a check made payable to “Congregation Beth Am” to the Administrative Office as follows:
Congregation Beth Am

Funds like this keep our Beth Am programs going, so we encourage you to consider donating to the fund of your choice on your next special occasion.
