Acharai: Families Giving Jewishly

The Acharai Fund inspires families to engage together in meaningful Jewish philanthropy. Acharai means “follow me.” You can only ask others to follow when you are willing to lead. Acharai leads by bringing together caring, dedicated, multi-generational families who pool their resources and decide collaboratively and democratically where those resources are distributed.

If your family desires a deeper engagement in philanthropy, then consider the Acharai Fund. The time for Acharai is now.
