Chai Club

Chai means life. By joining the Chai Partners Program, you breathe life into Dirah. Your monthly gift makes you a partner in providing soul and body nourishment to so many and helps create a more reliable year-long support for our community.

Dirah does not ask for annual membership dues or fees. Our work is entirely supported by generous community members and friends like you. 

As a member of the Chai Club, your donation, combined with everyone else’s in this group, will allow us to continue serving the community and growing our programming that are so important.

Please join the monthly giving club. Don’t worry - you can always increase or decrease the amount.

To join the Chai Partners Club through other means (Bank Transfer, Zelle etc.) please email menashe@dirahbrooklyn.org

What is the commitment duration? For as long as you'd like. Our system will charge your card monthly until you choose to alter your contribution. Just let us know and we'll take care of it.

What if I don't want my card charged every month? You choose to make your donations in single, bi-annual, or quarterly installments. For a one time donation click here.

How much? A little more than you were planning. The Rebbe taught us to always push ourselves, a little bit at a time. Of course, try to pick an amount that you'll be comfortable to maintain. May you be blessed!

Why give monthly? Maimonides, the great Jewish sage and philosopher, teaches that it's better to give numerous, smaller donations, than one lump sum, even though they add up to the same amount. The logic is twofold: (1) Each gift is an additional mitzvah and (2) ongoing giving nurtures a habit of kindness.
