TBAfrica 2026 Fundraising
💕 A Message from Ahavat Torah:
In January, Rabbi Ilana and Tal Grinblat and AT Members, Ellen Dubois, Arnie Schwartz, and Marion Klein are going on a trip to visit the Jewish communities of Kenya and Uganda. This trip is a fundraiser to support those communities, many of whose members are facing food insecurity and other challenges. To learn more about the community we are visiting and supporting, see: https://www.discoverafricanjews.org/our-work/community. To make a donation, please click on the link below. The contributions are collected by the American Friends of the Abayudaya, and all contributions are tax-deductible. Thank you for supporting this wonderful Jewish community.
About This Fundraiser
TBA’s annual travel adventure in 2026 will be to Africa. We will spend time in Kenya and Uganda, embedding within local/indigenous Jewish communities there for the two שבתות/shabbatot that we will experience on the trip. In between, we will do local touring/exploring, including an extended wildlife safari excursion.
We are going on this trip as a learning adventure. And to have a wonderful vacation. And…we are visiting some fascinating and exceedingly under-resourced Jewish communities. The Abayudaya community in Uganda, and their sibling community in Kenya, are barely at subsistence level. Both viz. individual families, and the community itself. Therefore, we are using this wonderful trip we will experience as an opportunity to raise funds for this community. We will ask every participant to agree to fundraise a minimum of $1800 towards our effort, every dollar of which will go to these communities to help them sustain themselves, and grow.
