Chabad of Uptown’s nearly $1 million annual budget is raised locally — one partnership at a time.

Your monthly gift creates the stability that allows Jewish life in Uptown to flourish with care, connection, and community.

DID YOU KNOW?

Rambam (Maimonides) teaches that giving consistently is greater than giving a one-time sum — even if the total is the same — because repeated giving shapes us into givers.

Each month you give, you renew the mitzvah and unlock the ongoing blessings that tzedakah brings.
