The Kadima! Campaign: Honoring Our Heritage, Focused on Our Future is transforming our campus through meaningful investments that will preserve our historic Chapel, enhance accessibility, strengthen security, improve gathering spaces, and create new opportunities for Jewish life and community connection.
Thanks to the vision of Rabbi Michael S. Siegel and the extraordinary generosity of more than 150 donors, we have raised $14.5 million toward our $15 million goal. With just $500,000 remaining, we invite you to help us bring this transformational campaign to completion.
Together, we are preserving our heritage, strengthening our community, and ensuring that Anshe Emet continues to thrive for generations to come.
Anshe Emet also gratefully accepts stock and wire transfers, and commitments of $25,000 or more may be fulfilled over three years.
For more information, please contact Hannah Jarvis at hjarvis@ansheemet.org or 773.868.5143.
We are honored to recognize those whose generosity makes this vision possible. Recognition options may include plaques, naming opportunities, and inclusion in campaign publications and events. Participate at the best giving level for you. With the support of EVERY congregant, we can raise the remaining funds to reinforce the safety of our congregants and staff and provide bright spaces for collaboration, education, worship and bold new ideas.
We recognize that while large capital projects require campaigns such as Kadima!, we know that ongoing maintenance of our building infrastructure into the future is important as well, which is why we will be launching our AES Building Fund in May 2026.
Payments can be made at ansheemet.org/kadimacampaign.
Anshe Emet also accepts Stock and Wire transfers. Gifts exceeding $25,000 can be paid over 3 years.
