combined these desires and created Philadelphia’s Project H.O.P.E. the local chapter of a larger organization that has been providing aid to Jewish communities for more than five decades From its journey as a startup organization in Domsky’s garage to its current role providing Passover meals for hundreds of families out of Temple Sinai “I know I’m just one person [out] of seven billion but I would like to think that when my life is over I will have made a difference and I’ve shared that with my children who are now involved in the project,” he said to more than 700 families in the Philadelphia region More than 400 volunteers helped make this possible gathering at Temple Sinai to pack and deliver food The seeds of Domsky’s decision to start Project H.O.P.E Domsky’s neighbors asked him what he had planned for the holiday He said he was excited for a day of doing nothing His neighbors told him they had other plans and that he should join them “It was the first time that I met a Holocaust survivor It was the first time I saw numbers tattooed on someone’s wrist,” he said “I was taken aback and realized that there were a lot of seniors that [suffered from] food insecurity and I [volunteered] with that family and that church and my next-door neighbors for the next 47 years.” as Domsky climbed the ladder at his day job at B’nai B’rith International he learned that the organization had a burgeoning program that could use some help was underfunded and they wanted to establish it more in certain cities It was right up my inspiration alley to help the less fortunate and hungry,” he said “Passover has such an important meaning to me and my family remembering where we came from as a people and being thankful to live in a country where we are free and able to actually celebrate these holidays without fear of repercussions.” The effort started humbly but successfully serving 75 families during its first Passover “We’ve just continued to grow and grow,” Domsky said Domsky said the mission of the organization has come full circle What makes him happy is seeing generations of young people awakening to how important this work is as they experience service for the first time “We have a big following in the community that has made it part of its tradition It’s become the big mitzvah day in our synagogue and we encourage a lot of families to bring their children so they can go out and deliver and they can see for themselves what the need is,” he said the visits from volunteers are the only ones that some folks will receive during the holiday season They are really appreciative of the effort of these volunteers to come out and help those that can really use the food,” he said [email protected] and website in this browser for the next time

at Temple Sinai in Dresher Rabbi Adam Wohlberg has led the nearly 400-family congregation since 2002 but he left to take a similar role at Congregation Beth El in Voorhees The synagogue chose to replace Hollander with a cantor instead of a rabbi “The synagogue just felt that the musicality was something that was very much desired and was missing,” Executive Director Ari Goldberg said Her father was an accompanist who traveled around the Philadelphia area performing with different bands Broadway tunes and American contemporary songs “That’s really where I got my foundation,” Brown-Levy said Do something stable,’” the cantor recalled her saying You couldn’t keep the music out of me,” she said The family moved to Florida after Brown-Levy’s mother died and Brown-Levy studied at the University of South Florida she would come home to spend time with her sister and grandparents That was when she started picking up cantorial work at a local synagogue “They fell in love with me so much that they asked me to be their soloist,” she said Brown-Levy was noticed by leaders from a larger congregation “That’s where I discovered the cantorial arts more in-depth,” she said Brown-Levy started handling the musical tasks at the bigger shul The rabbi at that shul informed her that she was getting paid little for a cantor Brown-Levy completed Reform and Conservative cantorial programs both of which usually take about five years She then served congregations in New Jersey Then the cantor started another job search and this time she found what she described as “the perfect fit.” Temple Sinai’s hundreds of members include about 100 preschool students the Philadelphia area offers access to many high-quality medical and educational institutions her husband Eytan and their 16-year-old son Mattan Temple Sinai last employed a cantor five years ago Brown-Levy hopes to bring the music back in full “I’m thinking that I’m going to really be a source of musical consultation and engagement to add instrumentals to their Friday nights and to pay attention to people’s comfort zones to adding instruments outside of Friday night,” she explained The cantor will also lead the synagogue’s bar and bat mitzvah program She hopes to start a peer mentor program for post-b’nai mitzvah students “We’ve seen children fall off after their bar or bat mitzvah,” she said “I want to

demographic factors multiple alternative dues models have been implemented at synagogues throughout North America an Alternative Dues Committee was formed to explore options The committee devoted a tremendous amount of time gathering materials conducting research and consulting with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism as well as with many colleagues within the Jewish community before making a recommendation,” synagogue Vice President Marla Kepniss said the board of directors approved the recommendation to go into effect for the 2024-2025 fiscal year and we launched our new membership model in May.” According to Executive Director Ari Goldberg the synagogue needed to meet Jewish families where they are now and the idea that families will pay synagogue dues as a kind of communal “Jewish tax” is a thing of the past for many families who dropped their formal membership the reason is not because they could not afford it but because they were looking at the perceived value of being part of the community “Many may have been willing to stay members but just not at the top level of the dues structure,” Goldberg said “Most synagogues had an accommodations process but these families would not have qualified because they did not have actual financial ‘need.’ “And for families who did need financial assistance the accommodations process was embarrassing at best and invasive at worst The new model provides families the dignity of deciding how they want to commit their financial resources to the Jewish community as opposed to an obligatory payment like a mortgage.” members received a snapshot of the synagogue’s finances for the coming fiscal year While dues rarely cover the total costs of a synagogue financial transparency helps educate members about what financial support is needed members are asked to pledge how they will contribute for the coming year “We remind them of their contribution from the previous year and offer a calculation of what a contribution could be if every member household gave the same amount for the year,” Kepniss explained we will need some members to give more to allow the flexibility for other members to give less.” the synagogue eliminated the dues accommodation process last July “Instead of members having to fill out forms providing personal financial information I engaged in confidential conversations with the members in which they would share with me the amount that worked for their family budgets,” Goldberg said In evaluating the trends based on the commitments of members who have responded thus far 87% of members have opted to donate the same or more for membership (and for some the increase has been significant) while only 7% have decreased their giving level Synagogue President Jamie Jakubowitz added that Temple Sinai is always looking for new and innovative ways to bring on new members while ensuring the Jewish community stays vibrant “Our hope is growth and vibrancy for many years to come,” Jakubowitz said the true measure of success is for our congregants of all ages to want to be in the building and feel the warmth of our Jewish community whether through prayer discussion or any way that speaks to them.” Leslie Feldman is a Philadelphia-area freelance writer Last month, the Upper Dublin Planning Commission received a proposal on behalf of Dresher-based BET Investments to
