How Can My Gift Help?

Your generous support of the Lewis S. Wiener Annual Fund makes a tangible difference in the lives of our members, ensuring WHC remains a vibrant, welcoming, and spiritually enriching community for all. Here’s how your support helps:

  • $1,800 – Imagine the warmth of Shabbat as congregants gather over delicious food, laughter, and conversation at one of WHC’s beloved pre-negs and onegs. Your gift fosters the connections that turn a congregation into a family.
  • $3,600 – A longtime member, facing unexpected financial hardship, is able to remain part of our community thanks to membership support. Your generosity ensures that no one is turned away from Jewish life.
  • $5,000 – A child lights up as they learn to read Hebrew for the first time, gaining a deeper connection to their heritage. Your support empowers our religious school to inspire the next generation.
  • $7,200 – A longtime congregant connects with friends at a monthly senior Lunch and Learn or enjoys a home visit from one of our clergy. Your gift ensures that our seniors remain engaged, supported, and a valued part of our WHC community.
  • $8,000 – A young professional, new to the city, finds their Jewish home through WHC’s 2239 community. Your gift helps create meaningful experiences that forge lifelong friendships and strengthen Jewish identity.
  • $10,000 – Picture a packed room engaged in a dynamic panel discussion with leading Jewish thinkers at America’s Jewish Future or ABC News Washington Bureau Chief Rick Klein Reviewing the 2024 Election Through a Jewish Lens. Your generosity makes these powerful moments of learning and dialogue possible.
  • $18,000 – The sanctuary fills with music, voices rising together in prayer as instrumental accompaniment enhances the beauty of Shabbat. Your support brings these transformative spiritual experiences to life.
  • $25,000 – Sustains our clergy’s ability to be there in times of joy and sorrow — officiating life cycle events, offering pastoral care, and providing spiritual guidance when it’s needed most.
