In the Torah, when Moses brought the Israelites to the border of the Promised Land, he realizes the work is not complete. The community is strong, and so he says,

“Atem Nitzavim.” We stand together.

Everyone here today must stand up and carry this community forward into the future.

The goal of the Nitzavim Campaign is to raise $3 million to fund important strategic initiatives from NVHC’s Strategy 2020 Plan.

  • Apply resources to increase member recruitment and engagement. Staff dedicated to this work can maximize our ability to build relationships with existing members, welcome newcomers, and expand our presence in the community.

  • Strengthen and expand the scope of pastoral care provided by clergy and volunteers to our community, especially to increase support of the growing numbers of older adults.

  • Improve and advance our B’nai Mitzvah program. Create a broad community approach to building healthy families and healthy kids.

  • Modify our building to provide better accessibility and enhance engagement spaces.
