Shalom ECLC Families

As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s a time for gratitude and reflection. At ECLC, we are deeply thankful for each of you. Your commitment to your family’s Jewish education and your active participation in our community are the pillars of our success. As we celebrate this season of giving, we reflect on the vibrant and nurturing environment our school provides, shaped by our innovative, experiential approach to education. Your active participation fuels our mission to provide an innovative and experiential education that meets each child where they are in their Jewish journey.

This time of year not only brings us together in gratitude but also in giving. Many of you have asked how you can deepen your impact—thankfully, many employers offer donation matching programs this season and for Giving Tuesday, that could double your generous contribution and impact during this season. Here's how your support can continue to make a difference:

1. Enriching Our Core Programs: Your support helps us maintain and expand our unique educational offerings. From the youngest learners in our early childhood programs to our pioneering 7th graders, every dollar enhances our ability to provide a hands-on, engaging curriculum that includes technology, arts, and a new sports module. These programs are vital in cultivating a strong Jewish identity and connection to Israel among our students.

2. "Halleli Nafshi" Kids Sidurim - Spiritual Enrichment: Investing in our "Halleli Nafshi" Kids Sidurim brings the vibrancy of Jewish prayer and tradition directly to our students’ hands. These beautifully designed prayer books make our daily Shira and T’fillah sessions come alive, fostering a personal and engaging spiritual experience.

3. Tikkun Olam in Action - 7th Grade Initiatives: Our 7th graders are leading the way in putting the Jewish value of 'Tikkun Olam - Repair the World' into action. Through partnerships with organizations like AKLA & Tzedek America, they tackle real-world issues with hands-on projects that extend beyond the classroom into impactful community service. Your support here is crucial as these young leaders explore and address significant social issues, preparing them for meaningful B'nai Mitzvah projects and lifelong active citizenship.

This Giving Season, let’s unite to foster an environment where innovation in Jewish education thrives and where every child can explore their heritage with joy and curiosity. Every gift, no matter the size, contributes profoundly to our collective future.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. I look forward to another year of growth, learning, and community spirit at ECLC. Let's make this a year where every family feels more connected, every student feels inspired, and every contribution significantly furthers our mission.

 

With all my gratitude,
