Actualize the Vision

Five years ago, Rabbi Dovie and Mushkie Kivman came to Erie with a clear vision: that every Jew in and around Erie County should have access to the Jewish life, support, and connection they deserve. A vision where every need is cared for - whether it’s a place to pray, a Shabbat meal to enjoy, kosher food to rely on, uplifting holiday experiences, meaningful Torah study, a warm visit, or support during life’s challenges - even behind prison walls.

Today, that vision is taking shape, and with your partnership it will continue to grow.

We invite you to join our annual fundraiser and help Actualize the Vision for the Jewish community of Erie County and beyond.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support truly makes a difference!

P.S. Exciting new projects are already in the works: To make kosher meat available for purchase locally; construction of a beautiful women’s mikvah; and bringing the light and joy of Chanukah to even more nearby cities like Edinboro, Fairview, Meadville, and more.
