Growing Together: Nitzanim Spring Campaign
Help our community learn, lead, and grow—together.
🌱 Be Part of the Nitzanim Story This Spring
At Nitzanim, Jewish learning happens everywhere—in the redwoods, on farms, around tables, and in the songs shared between generations. Children, teens, parents, and grandparents explore, create, and grow together as a joyful, values-driven community.
This spring, we’re raising $30,000 to sustain Nitzanim Family Learning and the B. Mitzvah Academy.
👉 Make your gift today—so families can learn, grow, and thrive across generations.
💛 Why Your Support Matters
Tuition covers only about 40% of Nitzanim’s costs, and Ner Shalom contributes another portion. The rest comes from community support—gifts like yours make this work possible.
Nitzanim’s costs reflect what matters most to us:
Fair educator pay — honoring the teachers who guide our learners
Small group learning — ensuring meaningful connection and attention
Per-family model — one fee covers the household
High-quality materials — hands-on experiences that spark curiosity
Teen leadership — mentoring and growing the next generation
Scholarships — so all families who want to participate can
Your gift directly supports this season’s programs and ensures families can say “yes” to being part of Nitzanim.
