Help the Baltos Fund Sending a Torah to the Abudayan Jewish Community Message from David Balto: "You will recall our community’s support for the Abudayan community in Uganda. In 2019, the shul raised about $6000 to pay for lighting fixtures for 85 families.
Over the past two years the Ezra Uganda Fund has worked hard and recently acquired a Torah to bring to the community. They have already begun to treasure their new Torah.
I’d like us to donate to help fund the trip. Please let me (David) know when you make a donation and the amount (david.balto@dcantitrustlaw.com). I and Naomi will match all donations. We would like to make sure to meet the donation goal by the end of the year. Donate here: https://www.ezrauganda.org/donate."
