Torah Fund - October 2016

Welcome back to an exciting year for Torah Fund.   We have a new theme – P’ri Yadehah which means “the fruit of her hands” a phrase in the Book of Proverbs (31:31).    In the 100^th  year of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, and the 75^th year of the Torah Fund Campaign, we celebrate women’s achievements and creativity – the fruit of her hands in the family, in the workplace, in the home, in the synagogue, in the community, as dedicated volunteers, as leaders in the Jewish world and the secular world, as scholars, scientists, artists, business leaders, and more. 

Women’s League Torah Fund Campaign is committed to assuring that Conservative Judaism will remain an option for our children, grandchildren and their children’s children.   Just as we save to put our children through college, a gift to Women’s League Torah Fund offers others the opportunity for a top-notch Jewish education which strengthens and perpetuates Conservative/Masorti Judaism throughout the world. 

100% of the monies donated to Torah Fund support and sustain the needs of the multifaceted community of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles and the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York by providing scholarships and facilities for our educators.  Torah Fund also supports the Schechter Institute in Jerusalem and the Seminario in Argentina, and the new Zacharias Frankel College in Potsdam, Germany.    

Donations may be made by check to the Valley Beth Israel Sisterhood Torah Fund.

Thank you for your support of Torah Fund.
