Dear Mercaz Friends and
Supporters,
It is with great enthusiasm
that we announce our first giving campaign:
“Learning
for Life”. Mercaz
was founded in 1992 to fulfill the important need of providing quality
continuing Jewish education for the youth of Cincinnati following their Bar/Bat
Mitzvah. For more than 15 years, Mercaz has provided high quality educational
programs for the teens in our community. We have given them the opportunity to
expand their Jewish knowledge and strengthen their Jewish identity. Hundreds of
Mercaz graduates have gone on to be involved members of their chosen Jewish
communities.
Mercaz is a community school
that is open to any Jewish teen in eighth through twelfth grades. Our goal is to
strengthen our students’ Jewish identities by providing a rich Judaic curriculum
with opportunity for social interaction.
“Learning
for Life” means
providing an environment that encourages students to continue their Jewish
education throughout their lives. Your financial support makes it possible for
us to work towards this goal.
With your gift to the
“Learning
for Life” campaign,
you help us to:
· Create
additional educational and cultural programming for our students
· Attract
and retain high quality faculty
· Purchase
innovative curriculum
· Participate
in faculty and curriculum training seminars
· Acquire
up-to-date equipment
· Increase
social opportunities for our students
Through our giving campaign,
you have an opportunity to show your commitment to our school and to continuing
Jewish education for our teens.
In order
to sustain Mercaz and improve our programming, we must depend on your
generosity. Please
consider a contribution to Mercaz to help perpetuate a vibrant heritage for
generations to come. As we teach our children…
“It is
not your duty to complete the work of perfecting the world…
Neither
are you free to refrain from it…”
Rabbi
Tarfon, Pirkei Avot 2:16
