The High Holidays are Approaching
Share This Resource With Your Spiritual Leaders

Nearly 1 in 3 Jews in the U.S. is struggling to make ends meet, a reality present in every one of our communities. As rabbis and spiritual leaders prepare for the High Holidays, now is the time to offer tools that meet this moment.

“Inscribed Together: A High Holiday Guide to Jewish Economic Vulnerability” is a free, timely resource from Together Ending Need (TEN), an initiative of the Jewish Funders Network and The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation. Packed with texts, commentary, sermon ideas, and actionable guidance, it helps spiritual leaders lift up those in economic distress while calling congregations to live out our shared values.
