Rabbi Aiello is the founding rabbi of Sinagoga Ner Tamid del Sud, the first active synagogue in Calabria in 500 years. The synagogue is a recognized affiliate of the Reconstructing Judaism movement, the first RRC synagogue in Italy and the second in Europe
All emergency dollars raised go directly to support of the work of our partners on the ground. Now, an anonymous donor to JEWISHcolorado will match each gift 1:2, up to $100,000 in the next 90 days. We have a goal of $300,000 by the end of 2022. As our partners rush to save lives, to reunite families, and to bring hope to fellow Jews, they need our support.
