2025 (YOM TOV 5786) HIGH HOLIDAYS APPEAL
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Keeping our beautiful Synagogue financially viable is an ongoing challenge. Maintaining our historic building and its legacy is costly, let alone covering our growing security needs due to rising antisemitic threats. We risk losing not just a place of worship, but irreplaceable Torahs and artefacts dating to the 1860s. Without your help, there is a very real risk that the history of this community, its historic Synagogue and artefacts, all of which have symbolic and practical significance may all come to an ignominious end. Our High Holidays appeal is to keep our Synagogue operational, continue to hold services and keep our congregation safe. During this time of reflection and renewal, we appeal to your spirit of giving to help us secure our beloved Synagogue’s place in history, so it may be preserved for our children, our children’s children and beyond. Thank you for your donation and we wish you and yours a “Shanah Tovah u’Metuka”, a good and sweet year.
The Margaret Mansfield Fund
This Fund has been established in honour of the memory of Margaret Mansfield who died on Saturday, 12th October 2019. Margaret was a tireless supporter of the Wesley Music Foundation and the Wesley Music Centre. Her quiet but strong presence ensured that Music Scholars received help and encouragement, events ran like clockwork, staff and volunteers had someone who would listen and act, and volunteers knew that they were part of a team and that their work was valued. The Margaret Mansfield Fund may be used to support a Wesley Music Scholar, to sponsor a special music event, or to boost a music or Music Centre project. Those donating to the fund have the opportunity to identify any special focus that they wish to support. Donations over $2 are tax deductible and also can be made directly at the Music Centre Office.
Audience Fund
Well before one festival has finished, the planning for the next one is underway. A significant proportion of our income to support each festival is not received until we launch and tickets go on sale. Regular giving is a wonderful way for you to share our vision for CIMF, because we know we can count on your support when we are planning our next festival. You can become a regular contributor by making a one-off annual donation or a monthly pledge. Whether you give $10, $20 or $100 a month, your donation is an investment in our festival’s future. Donations can be made at any time of the year and are directed to where these funds will make a difference. For more information contact 02 6230 5880 or email info@cimf.org.au
