Your one time or recurring gift makes a real difference. Thank you!

Join the Chai Club
![]() What's the Chai Club? It's a special group of donors, committed to making a manageable monthly donation to support the ISJL. Most Chai Club members pledge a multiple of "chai," meaning life, which correlates to the number eighteen-- meaning donations of $18/month, $36/month, $72/month, and so on.... but any amount is welcome!
|
To join the Chai Club, simply pledge your monthly gift and we'll set it up to have your gift deducted monthly from your credit card. It's convenient, deeply appreciated, and helps keep our work going, every day. We hope your Chai Club gift will last for years! But if ever you need to stop payments (or update payment information, or change your gift amount), just email samuels@isjl.org

Celebrate. Remember. Share.When you want to celebrate a friend's recent achievement, or remember a loved one's incredible life, an honorarium or memorial is a wonderful way to mark the occasion. When you send a gift to celebrate a life event, to honor someone or to offer your sympathy, the Institute will send a personal card to the designated recipient. The card includes your name, address and the occasion for sending a contribution, without denoting the amount of your gift. Learn more on our Honorariums & Memorials page!
