Building our endowment through Keren Or: Ray of Light will ensure the stability, sustainability, and the future of our beloved RS – as well as the future of Reform Judaism in Philadelphia – and we need your support.

We are looking to each member of our community to join in and contribute to this Campaign so that Rodeph Shalom remains vibrant, enduring, and relevant for generations to come - a Ray of Light in Philadelphia and to the future of the Jewish people.

As the eternal light from our sanctuary radiates into the world, the Keren Or: Ray of Light from the outdoors inspires us in our sacred space. 

About the Campaign

The vision of Keren Or mirrors the vision of our Congregation – immersed in Jewish time, guided by enduring  values, compelled to moral action, we create profound connections. This is deeply meaningful to us and  inspires the work we do every day. The path to our vision centers on five Congregational priorities, which are caring community, social justice, outreach, sacred space, and education. Click here to read our Campaign Pillars.
