How to Become a Kesher Member!
Thank you for your interest in Kesher!
Kesher’s mission is to create a spiritual and respectful place for prayer and textual religious study, to actively participate in communal affairs, to maximize each individual's engagement in Torah study and to transmit Jewish values to the next generation. Our community was founded by eight families who moved to the area in 2000 with a vision to create a tight knit community that was more than just a "shul." Their vision was to create a dynamic, vibrant neighborhood in which people care about each others’ well being, take joy in each other's smachot, and are a comfort to one another during difficult times. These families celebrated all those things in the modern world that complement an Orthodox community.
In the years that have passed since, those eight families have seen their vision become reality. Now over 240 families strong, we at Kesher are proud of our welcoming environment and growing community rooted in our mission. We have just moved into our permanent home and are thrilled about the opportunities it provides as a meeting place for Tefila, chessed, and learning.

KESHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Kesher Welcome Circle – together with the refugee resettlement agency HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) — is thrilled to welcome a young couple and their adorable two-and-a-half- year old son to Englewood.
As Welcome Circle and Kesher members, we have committed to help the family for six months so they may find their footing and begin building new lives here in the U.S. They will be temporarily staying in the area until permanent housing can be secured in a New Jersey community with a core of Afghan families, retail shopping, and other infrastructure.
How You Can Help
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to help get our family on its feet. All funds raised will be expressly earmarked to secure housing, pay for utilities for six months & provide basic necessities. Please act now by going to our dedicated GoFundMe page and giving now, and, if you are able, give generously.
