Chabad of Nashville to present the 100k Challenge

Chabad of Nashville will be hosting a very exciting year-end fundraising campaign, “We. Belong. Together. –100/100 Challenge” which will kick off Tuesday, December 7th, at 12:00 PM, and will continue until Thursday, December 9, at 2:00 PM.  If $100,000 is raised in 50 hours, it will be matched by $100,000 from several generous matchers in Nashville. 
 
"Tzedakah (charity) is equal to all the other commandments combined." This meaningful fundraising campaign will provide the Nashville community with 50 hours of tremendous opportunity to support the influential and far-reaching work of Chabad of Nashville and the Revere Jewish Montessori Preschool. 

During the COVID19 era, Chabad has assisted hundreds of families with financial, emotional, and spiritual support, and helped many overcome challenges and obstacles. Chabad also assisted families with scholarship funding for children to receive a Jewish education at the Revere Jewish Montessori preschool. No child was left out in the cold, even when their parents lost their employment due to COVID19.   
 
“We. Belong. Together.” is the time for the Jewish community to unite efforts to strengthen Jewish life and build a bright future and to ensure Jewish continuity in Middle Tennessee. There is no better time than today to support the future of Jewish life in Nashville. The goal of the match-a-thon is to raise $100,000 in the campaign’s 50 hours. For every dollar donated during the campaign, Chabad of Nashville will receive an additional dollar, meaning all donations will effectively double in value. Essentially, each $100 charitable donation will be doubled and will translate into $200. No donation is too small and each one, appreciated. 

This is the sixth year Chabad is holding its successful end of year matching campaign, yet this year is different, as there are more people than ever before being impacted by the work of Chabad, and your support will impact more people. The funds raised will also enable children to continue to receive scholarship grants and receive a Jewish education at the Revere Montessori Jewish Preschool. 

This year, gifts will be presented for donors of certain levels. Each $1800 donor will receive a beautiful glass Challah Cutting Board, and each $3600 donor will receive a gift of a custom tzedakah box, and each $5,000 donor will receive a beautiful silver Kiddush cup set. 

All names of participants in the Chabad of Nashville 100/100 End of Year campaign will be included in a special prayer that we will be recited on their behalf, for a year of good health and success in all their endeavors.
