The 2025 Gala was a Roaring Success!

This year’s 4th Annual Gala truly lived up to the Sherith Israel motto...Without you, there is no us!

Over 100 people attended and helped blow through our fundraising goals! We did this with Gala Tickets and Sponsorships, Raise-the-Paddle donations, Raffle Tickets, Count-Me-In events, the Bespoke Round Rosh Hashanah Challah auction, the Old Skool Cafe raffle, and the very generous Hills of Eternity sponsorship.
