My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all people

(Isaiah 56:7)

Chevre   Friends,

Massachusetts has officially opened the process for the Commonwealth Non Profit Security Grant program. The Administration plans to award 30 grants at $50,000 each. The due date for the application is Friday, January 31st, 2020.  We encourage every organization with a need to apply for these funds. This is crucial as we continue to make the case for additional funds in the future.

We are grateful to Governor Baker and his administration for this important initiative. We acknowledge our community partners, JCRC and CJP, for their advocacy, which led to this positive outcome.

I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity.

In solidarity,

David Bernat, Executive Director, Synagogue Council of Massachusetts
