Dear Friends and Fellow Congregants,

Each year around this time, we reflect on the blessings and challenges of the past year and look ahead to the future with hope and purpose. This year, I write to you filled with deep gratitude and awe for what we’ve accomplished together.

After years of renting spaces, I am overjoyed to share that the Jackson Hole Jewish Community has purchased a building! This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter—one rooted in permanence, possibility, and growth. Thanks to the tremendous generosity and enthusiasm of our members, we completed a major capital campaign in record time. Renovations are now underway to transform this space into a welcoming, inspiring, and sacred synagogue where we can gather, learn, celebrate, and mourn—together.

When I moved to Jackson in 1995, we were a fledgling group that met once a month. I used to teach the aleph bet to the handful of children who would accompany their parents. We had no staff, and managed to gather for a few holidays. In 2016, ten years ago, our annual budget was $110,000. Now, we have 3 year-round staff members, weekly shabbats, weekly torah studies, daily morning prayers, we’ve celebrated dozens of b’nai mitzvah, supported each other through personal milestones, welcomed international teachers and visitors, and we have worked to secure our future with two endowments. We’ve continued our traditions, evolved our practices, and nurtured the next generation of Jewish leaders—right here in Jackson Hole.

This building is more than a structure; it’s a testament to our shared values and vision. But it’s just the beginning. With our sights set on completion and move-in, we need your support now more than ever. Your membership, your involvement, your presence—these are the bricks and mortar of our community.

So please join us in taking this next step. Renew your membership. Make a donation. Volunteer your time. Attend a Shabbat service, a film, a holiday celebration, or a community meal. Help us write the next chapter of our story.

With gratitude and excitement,

                                                                                                                                                                – L’shalom,  Rachel Stam JHJC Treasurer

 It is an important mitzvah that those of us who are more fortunate and able to do so assume greater responsibility for our operating budget. We ask you to consider the following: 

____ Security and Guards  (any amount)  This year, as in past years, the JHJC seeks additional funds to pay for live security guards and other essential building hardening assets. While DHS has issued Nonprofit Security Grants regularly, it’s never guaranteed that we will recieve funding. This year, we will be moving to our new building and harding the space is top of mind.
