original message sent on March 11, 2026
As Rabbi Brant steps back after 11 years in his role as our Founding Rabbi, Tzedek Chicago is honoring his work by securing a well-resourced future for our congregation and our movement. Join us as we share what we can create together as we approach Tzedek Chicago's Annual Fundraiser: Honoring Rabbi Brant Rosen March 21-22.
Dear Supporters,
Tzedek Chicago’s Family Program began in 2017 with a few families gathering together in living rooms and parks around the city. In 2026, Tzedek Chicago will have a team of 2 educators and 3 full-time staff people, and we will welcome 32 families to join us for liberated, life-affirming Jewish learning for children and their caregivers of all ages.
Right now, we are 19% of the way towards the $40,000 we need to fund Tzedek Chicago's next steps.We have 11 days until our weekend of fundraiser events.
Expanding our Growing
Family Program
We deserve Jewish learning free from ethno-nationalism, rooted in equity, justice, and solidarity. Your gift to Tzedek Chicago sustains:
"Tzedek Chicago's Family Program is a place where my kid is learning that being Jewish and standing up for human rights are synonymous. It’s a place where we can all be in community with Jews whose values align with ours."
-Family Program Participant, Age 41
"I think I should be in Tzedek because it’s a great program and it respects what people think and it’s just great."
-Family Program Participant, Age 9
Tzedek Chicago's Family Program fosters connected, joyful, and principled Jewish lives that are essential to our shared vision of a liberated future.
Join us this weekend as we learn just how far your gift will go, and celebrate with us at Tzedek Chicago's Annual Fundraiser Honoring Rabbi Brant Rosen -- a weekend of in-person and virtual events.
With gratitude,
Aviva Stein
Executive Director
