2. Report to Donors
“Terumot HaKodesh—Sacred Gifts”
September 2009
Tishrei 5770
Dear Friends,
I
n a famous Torah scene, Moses is urged to ask the ancient Israelites to cease from
their contributions. “The people are bringing more than is needed for the sake of the
tasks entailed in the work that the Lord has commanded to be done.” (Exodus 35:5)
I doubt that it has ever happened since! I know no Jewish organization that puts a cap on
contributions. Truthfully, I wish we could. But, as one synagogue leader told me many
years ago, “If we could afford everything we’re doing, we wouldn’t be doing enough!”
The gifts Moses received to erect the Mishkan, the portable wilderness Tabernacle, and
then asked to stop collecting, were called “Terumot HaKodesh–Sacred Gifts.” This is how I
understand each and every contribution made to our synagogue community.
Your choice to donate to Chizuk Amuno reflects your values, and demonstrates that you
sense something sacred and important happens here. All of us are gratified by your sacred
gift, your involvement, and your trust.
Our vision for synagogue life is that we become a Kehilah Kedoshah, a sacred community.
Dedicated to strengthening faith in our people’s covenant with God, the purpose of
Chizuk Amuno Congregation is to create a sacred Jewish community. Here individuals
and families can find meaning for their lives from serious engagement with the texts,
wisdom, and celebrations of Judaism.
Synagogue membership, as Judaism, is based in covenant - brit, shared responsibilities and
privileges. Covenant compels us, and it makes demands of us. Just as God commands our
performance of mitzvot as a holy people, so too does belonging to a sacred community
require us to honor the expectations and standards of Torah.
This is why I cite to Moses’ successful fundraising. In a sacred, covenanted community a
contribution can be understood as a terumat hakodesh - a sacred gift. Different offerings of
equal significance sustain the community and provide for every member’s needs.
I extend my thanks and genuine gratitude to each and every one of you recognized in this
report. Your support and involvement enable our religious and communal values to guide
our work on behalf of our families, the Jewish people, and our society. May we continue
to need your generous gifts so that our sacred community continues to extend its reach.
B’Shalom Rav,
Ronald J. Shulman,
Rabbi

7. Zaiman Educational Alliance
Established to honor Rabbi Zaiman’s 23 years of leadership and service to
Chizuk Amuno, the Zaiman Educational Alliance encourages and rewards
innovative, collaborative educational initiatives among the schools at Chizuk
Amuno and seeks to strengthen the bonds of the Chizuk Amuno community
through new expressions of Torah (study), Avodah (worship), and Gemilut
Hasadim (acts of loving kindness).
In the past year, ZEA funds were used for two important initiatives. The Shuk,
an Israeli based Jewish music ensemble spent three days at Chizuk Amuno,
sharing their love and knowledge of music with educators and students.
Workshops and song sessions were held with students from Krieger Schechter
Day School, Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center, Netivon, and
Rosenbloom Religious School, where participants experienced the musical
tradition that bonds Jews together while exploring new modes of Jewish musical
interpretation. The group also held an Erev Zemer (sing-a-long) for the entire
adult community.
In addition, the ZEA awarded a $10,000 grant to support the CAC Archives.
Funds were used to support this in-house archival resource often used to
facilitate educational initiatives. Within the Chizuk Amuno archival collection
are items reflecting the founding of Conservative Judaism; halackhic debates on
mixed seating and women’s ritual equality; development of the land of Israel;
immigrant acculturation and adaptation; interfaith relations; and the evolution
of American ritual practice. Through original sources housed in the archives,
students directly touch the lives of people in the past revealing their values and
attitudes.

In addition to outright gifts (cash, securities, tangible personal property, or real estate), Charitable Gift Planning is
an effective way to provide for the future of Chizuk Amuno Congreation and our schools. A variety of strategies

Charitable Gift Planning strategies offer substantial tax benefits to the donor and the donor’s loved ones. Please contact
