March 30, 2026: We Did It!

Though the funding bar doesn't show it, Tzedek Chicago is proud to share that we exceeded our fundraising goal for our annual spring fundraiser event, this year honoring Rabbi Brant Rosen.

We met our goal with gifts from $5-$5,000, with nearly 300 individual givers. We know this was only possible because of you-- thank you!

Here are a few of the ways your gift is already allowing Tzedek Chicago to fulfill our fundraising commitments in the coming fiscal year:

-Tzedek Chicago will offer 100% employer-covered medical health care to its employees, including our new leadership

-Tzedek Chicago has officially secured a new location for our Family Program, allowing us to add an educator and deepen our relationship with Tzedek Chicago's community

-We have increased our budget line for honoraria for guest educators, ensuring even more virtual spiritual, cultural, and political programming at Tzedek Chicago while respectfully compensating our community partners

Again, thank you. Tzedek Chicago is in a very exciting moment, and we're so grateful to be here with you.

In 2015, committed friends and comrades of gathered for High Holiday services led by Rabbi Brant Rosen. It was clear to all present that we had created something special that worth our time and love to cultivate. That gathering was the foundation of what would become the first anti-zionist synagogue in contemporary history: Tzedek Chicago.

For eleven years, Rabbi Brant Rosen has guided Tzedek Chicago with visionary leadership and profound moral courage. Join us as we honor his work, both in our synagogue and in our movement, as he steps back in order to create the opportunity for a new anti-zionist rabbi to take the pulpit.

Thank you for helping us to honor Rabbi Brant Rosen as we look forward to all that is ahead for him and for Tzedek Chicago!
