Update September 2023:
Thank you so much for your support last year. We were blown away at the generosity of our community. This campaign has now closed - we invite you to check out this year's 10 Days of Giving and consider giving again.

Hi there,
We're Ayelet HaShachar - a grassroots, lay-led Jewish congregation based in Sydney/Eora, Australia. We're socially progressive, collaborative and egalitarian. We use Hebrew prayer & music to connect to people and Judaism in an authentic and meaningful way, and we welcome any and all at our services.
We've been running since 2018 with a volunteer team. We've celebrated weddings, baby namings and a Bat Mitzvah. We've run services for Yom Kippur, Rosh HaShanah, Pesach, and Sukkot. We offer weekly Kabbalat Shabbat services. Our growing community provides a place for Jewish people to sing, connect, and own their Jewish identities and heritages.
We're asking you for your financial support. Our 10 Days of Giving, from Yom Kippur to Shabbat Chol Hamoed (the last Shabbat of Sukkot), is our first fundraising drive ever.
We're aiming to raise $10,000. This will be generously matched by a member of our community. These funds will go towards our ongoing running costs, renting event spaces, designing and printing siddurim and machzorim, purchasing a shofar, stipends for our hard-working team, and keeping our services free and accessible for all.
Thank you for stopping by our page. We're so appreciative of your support. We welcome you to join us at a service soon, too - all the info you need can be found at our website and social media pages below:
With love,
