Our Story

At Mercaz, we are building a stable, thriving Modern Orthodox community that will continue to transform, sustain and grow Jewish life in Seattle for future generations to enjoy and benefit from. A physical home for our communal and spiritual needs is an essential element of this growth. 

Over the past few years, Mercaz has been a place of spiritual and intellectual growth.

But now, we have physically outgrown our shell.

That’s why your donation is so important. We need a space that can serve as a vessel for our growing community, building on Seattle’s rich history and Jewish institutions. You can help us make this place our home, one that both sustains our physical growth and stretches the spiritual impact of Mercaz outward.

In this unprecedented time of challenge, we must build and sustain our home institutions, this allows our voices to rise in support of Israel, to come together to support each other and all of our brothers and sisters, and to have a solid presence in Seattle. We need you as part of this process.

When you donate, you help ensure the future generations of Mercaz have a place to grow, learn, give back and feel at home in their Jewish community.  

When you donate, you forge the path toward a home base that serves as the center – the Mercaz – of Jewish North Seattle and beyond.

Our new home will be more than just a physical space—more than just a place of gathering for prayer and learning. It will be a place where every individual can come together to grow and impact our neighborhood, the Seattle community and beyond.

We need all hands on deck to to reach our goal of a million dollars with contributors matching every donation by 4.  Your donation is an investment in Jewish Seattle’s spiritual, intellectual, and communal growth for years to come. 

Whatever you can do to participate – let’s continue to build together.
