Olive Tree pledge
A symbol of life, strength, knowledge,
reverence, spirituality & generosity.
Help us grow our virtual Olive tree today to celebrate a child, a family, a teacher, an event or memorialize a loved one.
Our virtual Olive Tree expands and grows with your help. Come back often to see how our Olive Tree grows.
Tell your family and friends to check this site out and view your pledges. Suggest that they help us and celebrate any Simcha with a pledge of their own.
Thanks for Making our Olive Tree Fund Grow!
Those donating at the Gold, Silver or Bronze levels ($1800 and up) will have their name or the name of those they are honouring or memorializing inscribed on the Downtown Jewish Community School Tree Honour Roll. Artwork generously donated by Ketubah Ketubah.
