Yom Kippur Appeal 2025/5786

October 2025 / Cheshvan 5786

Dear Members and Friends of Bais Abraham,

As we do each year at this time, we ask for your financial support for the Yom Kippur appeal, a critical component of our shul’s budget. Bais Abe is more than just a place of worship, and it is your generosity that sustains our special community through both simchas and more challenging times. Thank you to those who have already given so generously.

This past year, your support enabled us to expand our programming for young families, including a Parshat Noach petting zoo and monthly Sunday gatherings filled with art, music and holiday enrichment. It enabled us to offer Shabbat meals and speakers on meaningful topics such as Sephardic culture, personal reflections on the situation in Israel, and more. Your generosity allowed us to make needed repairs to our nearly century old building, as well as quite literally keeping the lights on.  And of course, your support helped make the installation of Rabbi Finkelstein and the dedication of Gan Zissa possible.

In the coming year, your financial support will ensure that we can continue to offer enriching classes, programs, and spiritual growth for people of all ages. Your contribution will allow us to welcome everyone, regardless of financial ability, and to support our community through lifecycle events.  Your participation – as a donor, volunteer, and a participant – is a commitment to making Bais Abe a strong and vibrant Modern Orthodox presence in St. Louis.

Please consider making a meaningful gift to Bais Abe. You may remit your donation by sending a check, or by using a credit card or PayPal on the website. We offer naming opportunities to honor or memorialize a loved one, as indicated on the enclosed form.  Your financial support and your participation in our beloved community are critical to our synagogue’s future.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership and support. With our best wishes for a happy and healthy 5786,

Dan Vianello
