Norcal Shomrim is a registered non-profit organization led by a group of dedicated volunteers. Our mission statement is to unite people of the Jewish faith in the field of law enforcement, promote friendship and encourage the religious spirit of the members and their families while working towards the welfare of all.
To meet these goals, we rely on membership dues and the generous tax deductable donations that we receive from the community.
Together, we work for the betterment of our society.
Your donation helps us make all of this possible.
Tzedakah literally means righteousness, but it is often interpreted as charity, because Judaism views giving as the ultimate act of righteousness. Whether it is teaching a skill, donating goods, or giving money, tzedakah is an integral part of living a Jewish life and is in fact required of all Jews.
The Hebrew word for "alive" is חי (chai), which has a numerical value of 18. Consequently, the custom has arisen in Jewish circles to give donations and monetary gifts in multiples of 18 as an expression of blessing for long life.
18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, . . .
Ten times Chai is 180 and double that is 360.
(All donators will receive a receipt with the Norcal Shomrim tax I.D. number.) To view or download our completed federal tax
