Support YGW

For almost 60 years, the Yeshiva of Greater Washington has been at the forefront of Jewish education. Our mission is to root each student in Torah, plant a passion for learning, and prepare them for life. Almost 2,000 alumni are testament to the success of that mission as they teach and serve the Jewish community in 26 states, in Israel, and in countries throughout the world.

Nowhere has the impact of our mission been felt more than in our own community. Our local alumni are active in every way, and are engaged in the entire spectrum of our community’s institutions, schools, and synagogues, as rabbis, teachers, board members, and volunteers, passionately committed to the growth and future of our community.

It is thanks to our partnership with you, in support of Jewish education and a Jewish future, that all of this is possible. We provide scholarship funds of approximately $2.3 million per year which helps more than 75% of our families. It is an enormous challenge, but one that we know is necessary for our community and our future. Join us today.

  • The Kol Kaddish Program

    Remember your loved ones.

    The Kol Kaddish Program provides the critical service of arranging the Kaddish and/or Yizkor prayer(s) to be said on their behalf.  This is helpful to those who have no one to say Kaddish for their loved ones during the first year of mourning, or for those who may need occasional assistance when daily synagogue attendance is not possible.

    There is also an option for those who would like for Yizkor to be recited on their behalf, and/or those who would like kaddish to be recited annually on their loved one's Yahrtzeit.

    Below, is the list of three different options:

    Kaddish Program - $360
    This includes Kaddish three times daily, in addition to Yizkor, for the first year of mourning.

    Yahrtzeit and Yizkor in Perpetuity - $600
    This includes Yahrtzeit and Yizkor services in perpetuity. You, and as many relatives as you designate will be notified in advance of the Yahrtzeit each year. (Daily kaddish is not included in this option.)
     
    Complete Kol Kaddish Program - $750
    This includes Kaddish three times daily for the year of mourning, and Yahrtzeit and Yizkor services in perpetuity. You, and as many relatives as you designate will be notified in advance of the Yahrtzeit each year.

    Please fill out the form to the right, submit the form, and then pay from the confirmation link or the Donate Now button also to the right.

    Let us be your partners in prayer!

  • YGW Legacy Society

    The YGW Legacy Society is composed of alumni, faculty, parents, staff and community members who have provided for the Yeshiva of Greater Washington through a bequest or planned gift.

    By making these very important and meaningful gifts, members of the Legacy Society have created their own legacy while helping to ensure the continued success and viability of YGW.
