Each year Shaarei Shamayim allocates 2% of its membership dues to tzedakah.
The whole community is invited to participate in the process of deciding where this money will go. Typically a tzedakah committee comes together to discuss, debate, contemplate and ultimately develop a list of organizations that they recommend Shaarei Shamayim fund. The final decision is made by our Coordinating Committee.
Below is a list of some of the organizations Shaarei Shamayim has funded. We encourage you to learn more about these organizations and consider getting involved.
