Kol Nidrei Appeal

To all members and friends of ACI,

As everyone responded so magnificently last year, once again this year ACI's Kol Nidrei appeal is a targetted fund-raising with the goal of raising $18,000. The Kol Nidrei appeal runs from now, through the conclusion of our beautiful autumn Jewish holidays.
