The fire they aimed vs. the fire we build
If you have been waiting for a sign to act, this is it.
We have all felt the tremors. From the beaches of Bondi the waves of fear rippled across the world, a darkness trying to creep in. It tries to whisper that we should be afraid. That we should hide. That we should dim our lights.
We have a different plan.
We are choosing to unleash the divine beauty, a beauty that shines through the cracks.
Launched in the last 72 hours of 2025, Chabad of the West Coast invites you to join our R7,2m “Raise our Voices” campaign.
1. The Eruv! 2. The Sports Field! 3. Chabad West Coast 2025!
These three projects are already in motion - and we need you to complete them!

THE FOUNDATION OF FIRE
We are raising R7.2 Million to secure our perimeter, ignite our youth, and fuel our future.
Official end is midnight on 31 December 2025 - but we are going to keep the campaign open until the end of the 2025 SA tax year on 28 February 2026 for those who need to make their pledge/payment later
We do not build on sand; we build on the shoulders of giants. Before the first public dollar is donated, the trajectory of this campaign is already been set by a vanguard of visionaries who have stepped forward to secure our future.
Their fire is lit. Now, we need YOU to fan the flames. Every Rand you give today joins this wave of momentum. Every Voice Raised is a louder echo of Jewish Pride.
We are not just fundraising. We are fighting fire with fire.
YOUR VOICE IS YOUR DONATION. Thanks to a group of visionary Founders, every Rand you give today will be matched in sets of R1,800,000. We currently have 2 Levels of Matcher Slots still available. If you wish to join the "Visionary Founder Circle" and have your name listed as a catalyst for this campaign, please let us know.
The R7,200,000 being raised will be going towards:
The Fortress: You are turning a "suburb" into a "sanctuary." The Blouberg Eruv will allow a mother to push a stroller to Shul without fear, weaving a thread of unity around our homes. The campaign target for this project is for R1,440,000.
The Field of Dreams: You are taking a patch of dirt and turning it into secured and protected Community Sports Fields where our children’s laughter will be the loudest sound on the West Coast. The campaign target for this project is for R2,160,000.
The Eternal Flame: You are fueling the daily engine—the classes, the prayers, the kindness—that keeps our community alive and helps complete the Chabad West Coast 2025 budget. The campaign target for this project is for R3,600,000.
The Donors Circle: Donations between R1800 - R90,000 constitute the heart of our campaign, the broad scope of support that keeps us going.
R1800 Campaign Firestarter / R18000 Campaign Igniter / R90000 Campaign Torches
Please choose one, or multiple of these, to help create this miracle!
The Founders Circle: This group gives us the injection of support we need, necessary to achieve our goals. If you would consider being one of our Founders we would be most grateful.
R180,000 Menorah Builder / R360,000 Campaign Founder / R720,000 Campaign Visionary
Together, the R7,200,000 that this campaign raises will change the world forever. `
