Giving

In Jewish tradition, giving is not merely an act of charity—it is a mitzvah, a sacred obligation that sustains our community and brings holiness into the world. The Torah teaches, “You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your poor and to your needy in your land” (Deuteronomy 15:11), reminding us that generosity is at the heart of a just and compassionate society. Our sages further taught, “The world stands on three things: Torah, worship, and acts of loving kindness” (Pirkei Avot 1:2). At CSI, your support allows us to uphold these pillars, nurturing learning, spiritual growth, and care for one another. Every gift, large or small, is a meaningful expression of partnership in building and sustaining a vibrant Jewish future.

There are many meaningful ways to support CSI and help our community thrive. Whether you make a donation in honor or memory of loved ones, sponsor a kiddush, dedicating a memorial plaque, choose a planting for our memorial garden, shop at our Gift Shop, contribute to the Kol Nidre Appeal, or participate in our programs throughout the year—each act of tzedakah strengthens our shared home.

Every gift, large or small, has the power to uplift someone’s life. We are deeply thankful for your continued generosity.
