Help Build a New Jewish Future in a Place Where Nothing Like It Exists:
Be an Early Patron of HaMakom

We are planting the seeds of a thriving progressive Jewish community in a place where nothing like it currently exists. This is holy work—and historic work. We are building something from the ground up, and we need your help.

​​

As pioneers of HaMakom, we recognize the need for progressive Judaism in Porto, an egalitarian and pluralistic space to welcome everyone, regardless of identity, as members, lay leaders, rabbis, cantors, and executive administrators.

​​

We offer an inclusive and welcoming environment to celebrate, pray, and rejoice together with our Portuguese and international brothers and sisters. We aim to show the world that our vision is real, viable, and urgently needed.

​​

As a unique Jewish community that did not exist here five years ago, we know that numbers tell a story: the number of people in our growing community, and the funds we are ready to raise.

​

To help us move forward, we have partnered with the World Union of Progressive Judaism (WUPJ), a 501(c)(3) organization to process donations in U.S. dollars and assist with our bookkeeping. Your gift will be fully tax-deductible in the U.S. See below for detailed instructions. Those who wish to donate in euros can still do so; both options are available on this page.

​

We’ll be sharing more about membership soon. For now, we ask you to consider becoming an early patron of HaMakom by supporting us as we:

​

• Secure a physical space to gather.

• ⁠Sustain our religious, educational, and social programs.

• ⁠Build the foundation for a vibrant Jewish future.

​​

Please be thoughtful about your financial ability to contribute and give as generously as you are able, if possible at the highest level. Your contribution and leadership will ensure that HaMakom remains open and accessible to all who seek connection, meaning, and community and want to be part of our mishpocha. Together, we can create something truly extraordinary.

B'Shalom,
