A Final Jewel from Craig Taubman

Dear Friends,

Thank you for being a part of our 9th year of Jewels of Elul. I hope that you found the Jewels from the past 29 days to be mind and heart opening.

This year’s edition on The Art of Welcoming took on extra significance as it coincided with the opening of the new Pico Union space downtown. When we took possession of the property in January, I had no idea how quickly our dream of creating a multi-faith house of worship and cultural arts center would become a reality. For our first three events, hundreds of people from multiple faiths and communities came together in our 105 year old synagogue and embraced the Jewish value of being a light to all nations.

For those of you who have contributed to our Capital Campaign I am ever grateful for your trust and support. If you have yet to make a contribution and value the ideal of creating a multi-faith creative space, I ask that you please join us. I can personally guarantee that your tax-deductible gift will be used wisely and efficiently. With well over 20,000 people reading the Jewels daily, your gifts will add up quickly and help us to grow the Pico Union.

As Hillel said years ago, “If not you, who? And if not now, when?” Click HERE, and we promise to make you proud in the coming year!

To a sweet, healthy and joyous new year!
Craig
