Rabbi Ed's 25th Anniversary Book Project



JOIN US IN CELEBRATING RABBI ED’S 25 YEARS AT NARAYEVER!

This summer will mark Rabbi Ed Elkin’s 25th year of service with the First Narayever Congregation. 
 
Throughout this time, Rabbi Ed has enriched the congregation’s intellectual, communal, and spiritual life with inspiring and thoughtful ideas and teaching. 
 
We are thrilled to share that the Board of Governors has approved a proposal submitted by Sharone Bar-David to mark this anniversary by publishing a book that will eternalize a select collection of the Rabbi’s written and spoken work. 

The project will proceed in two phases. The first phase is the compiling the content and preparation for print and printing several hundred copies. The second phase will be sale of copies of the book as a fundraising project later this year. 
 
Rabbi Ed is most excited about this idea. He has already begun working energetically on the manuscript. Thank you to our congregant Barbara Berson who is working with the Rabbi as a substantive editor.    
 
The preparation of the book will be funded through donations by the community. We are looking to raise $13,000 to cover publishing and printing of the book. We will be able to proceed to sign a contract with the publisher once we have $8,000 in donations. The sooner we have the donations the sooner we will be able to advance the project. 
 
We are seeking your help! A Rabbi Ed Book Fund has now been established, and donations of any amount are most welcome. Donations of $180 and over will be accompanied by a copy of the book. All donors (unless specified otherwise) will be acknowledged in Narayever Net and the Newsletter. Please use the form below to make a donation or call the office at 416-927-0546.
  
Thank you for your support,
