Torah Fund - March 2018

Women’s League, founded in 1918, our parent organization is the largest synagogue based women’s organization in the world, over 600 affiliated synagogues.   Torah Fund was a fundraising campaign for Women’s League which started more than 70 years ago with the establishment of a scholarship fund.   Through the years the Torah Fund campaign was earmarked for improvements to the various Jewish institutions, such as the American Jewish University Residence Hall which was built in 1989 with the state-of-the-art student center.

We all agree that education is the foundation upon which a better society is built.   For the Jewish community, Hebrew education and Jewish tradition are both continuous and as such require the means by which they can be sustained.   Since 1947, through Torah Fund, we have all been partners as a community with our support of the various Jewish universities.    Each and every one of us is helping to provide the Jewish community with the people necessary to enrich our tradition, make it more meaningful, and continue the heritage of Judaism.

We thank all who have already sent in their contributions for 2017-2018 campaign.   We thank you for making Judaism  come alive, now and for all generations to come.
