If people give to the Kehillah Jewish Education Fund, will school fund-raising activities be hurt?
No. Though some people may decrease their contributions to other fund raising activities by supporting the Kehillah Jewish Education Fund of AFTA, it is our expectation that there will difinitely be an overall net gain. The concept of communal giving will prompt many who never gave to anything before to start giving. Young singles and pre-child married couples will now give to the fund. Senior members whose children have long ago graduated will now give to the fund. In fact, people will replace the small donations they’ve been giving with a substantial contribution to the Kehillah Jewish Education Fund of AFTA. With G-d’s help, new and significant funds will be raised.
