Thank you to all who supported our Spring Benefit — and to the more than 400 members and guests who joined us to celebrate Rabbi Hirsch’s 20 years of leadership at Stephen Wise Free Synagogue!
It is the incredible generosity of our congregants and friends like you that sustains our synagogue community and enables us to do all that we do. And if you haven’t yet made a donation, it’s not too late. Every gift, no matter the size, is most appreciated.

Stephen Wise Free Synagogue celebrates 20 years of Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch’s leadership.
Since his arrival in 2004, Ammi has revitalized our historic congregation and articulated a clear vision for the future of American Judaism.
A fiery speaker and a brilliant scholar, Ammi is also a compassionate friend and a generous teacher.
Not since Rabbi Stephen S. Wise has there been an American Jewish leader as committed to Jewish peoplehood and the land of Israel.
Ammi’s message has echoed far beyond the synagogue’s walls, inspiring unconditional support for our homeland and guiding new generations with modern interpretations for ancient values and traditions.
