This Year, We're Investing in Our Future
Traditionally, our Kol Nidrei Appeal has supported local and Israeli charities—causes we'll continue supporting through morning service donations. But this year is different. In these uncertain times, we must strengthen our community's future through education.
🎯 GAME-CHANGER: Your Donations Will Be DOUBLED
For the first time, our Kol Nidrei Appeal runs through Charity Extra with an incredible opportunity:
A generous sponsor will DOUBLE every donation up to £7,500
Your £50 becomes £100. Your £100 becomes £200.
Every pound goes further. Every gift inspires others. Every donation has double the impact.

Why Education Matters Now More Than Ever
Education is the lifeblood of the Jewish people. With rising antisemitism, our most powerful response isn't just defiance—it's unshakable pride in our identity.
This pride comes from:
- Knowledge that empowers
- Community that nurtures
- Education that helps our children, youth, and adults stand tall and strong
What Your Support Will Create
The Vision: Outstanding Jewish education for every generation
From toddlers to grandparents, we'll provide:
- Early childhood Jewish learning
- Teen programs building strong Jewish identities
- Adult education deepening knowledge of our history, traditions, and Israel connection
The Reality: We have amazing programs but critical gaps remain
What We Need:
- An additional educator (ideally female) to coordinate and expand programs
- More social outings with educational elements
- Guest speakers and learning exchanges
- Enhanced group and home learning opportunities
- Partnership support from organizations like the Jewish Learning Exchange
Your Moment to Make History
By supporting this year's Kol Nidrei Appeal, you are:
- ✅ Securing our congregation's future
- ✅ Investing in Jewish resilience and strength
- ✅ Fulfilling the mitzvah of tzedakah at the most sacred moment
Stand Together. Give Together. Grow Together.
On the holiest night of the year, let's unite in generosity.
Give with an open heart so Whitefield can continue to inspire, educate, and uplift every precious member of our community.
With warmest wishes for a year of blessing, health, and learning
