Help Launch the Jewish Reconnection Network
A Moment That Demands Action
Jewish communities across the U.S. are facing the highest levels of antisemitism in decades. After October 7th, thousands of Jews are seeking guidance, reassurance, and a pathway back into community — but many don't have a rabbi, a synagogue, or anyone to turn to.
The Jewish Reconnection Network (JRN) exists to meet that need. Your support helps us launch a national nonprofit dedicated to reconnecting Jews with rabbis, synagogues, and compassionate pastoral care.
What Your Donation Makes Possible
Launching JRN as a fully operational 501(c)(3) requires $15,000 in initial funding. This amount allows us to move from concept to impact — legally, technologically, and operationally.
Where Your Gift Goes
- Nonprofit Formation & IRS Approval — Incorporation, legal review, and 501(c)(3) filing so JRN can operate nationally.
- Technology & Platform Development — Building the Synagogue Finder, Rabbi Finder, and secure communication tools.
- Rabbi Network Onboarding — Stipends, honorariums, and training for the first cohort of volunteer rabbis.
- Outreach & Community Engagement — Partnering with synagogues, educating communities, and reaching Jews who feel disconnected.
- Founder Launch Stipend — Ensuring dedicated leadership during the critical formation period.
Why Your Support Matters
Your donation directly helps Jews who are:
- Isolated from community
- Seeking guidance after October 7th
- Facing antisemitism
- Navigating life events without rabbinic support
- Looking for a way back into Jewish life
You're not just funding a nonprofit — you're helping build a national lifeline.
Become a Founding Supporter
Founding donors receive:
- Recognition on the JRN website
- Early access to program updates
- Invitations to strategy briefings
- A permanent place in the story of JRN's creation
Why Now
In the wake of October 7th and record-high antisemitism, more Jewish Americans than ever are searching for community. Six million unaffiliated Jewish Americans are waiting for a platform that meets them where they are. JRN is building that platform — and we need founding donors to make it possible.
