Time. Talent. Treasure.
The Den is collaborative, personal, authentic, and transparent. We believe in co-creating impactful Jewish experiences, which extends to how we fund and how we grow our community. There are a number of ways to join in sustaining the Den. We value your time, talent, and treasure. Sustaining the Den helps to create classes and gatherings that provide Jewish connection and education, meaning, a sense of belonging, and communal support.

Treasure:
The quickest way to support the Den is to donate. There is no fee to participate, no membership… nothing, nada, zilch. But we also need money to operate. “In the absence of adequate sustenance there can be no Torah, yet in the absence of Torah neither can there be adequate sustenance” (Pirkei Avot 3:21).
Your gift directly supports our ability to create inclusive, safe, and sacred spaces of meaning that invite people to feel part of a community, to deepen their connection to Judaism, and to enrich their lives.
