SAR’s Shavuot Appeal
May 5th - May 21, 2026 | י״ח אייר - ה סיון תשפ״ז
ובחרת בחיים
“And you Shall Choose Life” דברים ל:יט
Shavuot is about receiving the Torah together.
SAR is about living Torah together.
U’Vacharta Ba’Chaim is our commitment to that legacy.
At SAR, that responsibility comes to life every day through deep Torah learning, acts of chesed, responsibility to Am Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael, and a school culture rooted in middot and purpose. Our students grow into thoughtful leaders, devoted learners, and builders of Jewish life.
Your gift to the Shavuot Appeal affirms the commitment and choice we made at Har Sinai to ensure that the light and joy of Torah continue to guide the next generation.
