Make an exceptional expression of gratitude possible for the people who make DBN a home.
Sponsor $25,000The people are the reason.
A shul becomes a home because of its people. Someone welcomes a newcomer. Someone reaches out to a friend. Someone offers a song, a listening ear, or a helping hand.
The Evening of Appreciation is our opportunity to thank the members, volunteers, families, and partners who bring this spirit to life.
Sometimes, belonging begins with a smile.Someone remembering your name.
“Every persondeserves a placeto belong.”
Not just a place where you’re welcomed when you arrive.A place where you’re missed when you’re not there.

What we are celebratingNot just an evening.
Not just an evening.
A year of people caring for people.
01 — Belonging
A welcome that is real.
Newcomers and lifelong members, from different backgrounds and experiences, find friendship and a place to feel at home.
02 — Jewish life
A tradition we share.
Torah learning, davening, song, Yom Tov celebrations, family programs, and community gatherings bring our heritage to life.
03 — Gratitude
People who say yes.
Volunteers and supporters give their time, energy, and kindness—often quietly—and inspire others to do the same.
“One night of thanks. A year of belonging.”
