A Case for Giving
For over 110 years, Congregation Sons of Israel (CSI) has been a center of Jewish living in Northern Westchester, instilling Jewish values and providing a sense of warmth and belonging. Today, the CSI congregation is a multi-faceted community comprised of nearly 600 families, some being members for only a short period of time with others boasting membership that goes back several generations. All of these families consider CSI “home,” a place where they can fulfill their spiritual, educational, communal and social needs.
We, at CSI, are committed to building a strong and dynamic future, constantly striving for continuity and growth as a center for:
• Meaningful religious worship that is spiritually moving for all.
• Excellence in education for our youth and for all of those interested in the study of life through Jewish texts and values.
• Communal gathering where members can celebrate, commemorate and experience Jewish life to the fullest extent.
CSI–a dynamic and sacred community
Our Capital Campaign, “Continuing the Vision…Building Our Future,” is not only a reflection of our future expectations, but is the vehicle that will enable us, as a family, to attain our future goals and dreams. Therefore, we reach out to you, being a respected member of our congregational family, as we embark upon our Campaign to provide the means to continue to develop CSI as a dynamic and sacred community. Success in our fundraising effort, “Continuing the Vision…Building Our Future” Campaign, will enable CSI to:
• Provide dedicated and multi-purpose space for the use, enjoyment and education of our children, teenagers, adults and seniors in a stimulating environment free from overcrowding and offering advantages afforded by state-of-the-art resources.
• Create a safe and secure environment by establishing controlled access to and from the property and building.
• Present a tasteful venue for the celebration of simchas within our community.
• Improve the office facilities with additional work and storage space so that our professional staff can perform their duties optimally to serve the congregation.
• Enhance our ability to experience the sacred dimensions of life.
A strong CSI now and for generations to come
“Continuing the Vision…Building Our Future” Campaign represents CSI’s first major congregation-wide fundraising initiative in more than a decade. All of our research and fact-finding clearly endorses the need for and ability to support this Campaign. It is, of course, dependent upon broad involvement from each and every segment of the CSI congregational family. Each contribution will be meaningful and valued, each commitment will help to secure a bright future, and each gift will strengthen our community from within.
We invite you to show your commitment to CSI by supporting this critical fundraising initiative. Together, through your generosity and participation, we will transform our vision of the future into a reality for our generation and for generations to come. |
