Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative
Judaism is a grassroots fundraising campaign dedicated to perpetuating Judaism
by supporting its seminaries and scholarship funds. This campaign was first launched in 1942 as
a scholarship fund. In 1963 it combined
with the Mathilde Schechter Residence Hall campaign, which provided housing for
undergraduate students at JTS and University of Judaism in Los Angeles.
This year, 2017-2018, our theme Mah tovu which means “how good”, is a phrase that
originates in the Torah, in Numbers 24:5.
Quoted in our prayer book, it forms the basis of the opening prayer that
is sung when we enter the synagogue.
The one value that we all share is our love of Judaism and
Jewish education. It is because of this
that we all benefit from the graduates of the schools that our Torah Fund
campaign supports.
You have received letters for the 2017-2018 Torah Fund campaign
in August. We need your support more
than ever in our Torah Fund campaign so please send your checks if you haven’t.
Again, thank you for your continued support of Torah
Fund.
