Women Ensuring Conservative\/Masorti Jewish Education<\/span><\/p>\n

Torah Fund supports scholarships, programs, and special projects in the worldwide Conservative\/Masorti institutions of higher Jewish learning. Every donor has the opportunity to help preserve, promote, and perpetuate Conservative\/Masorti Judaism by giving to the Torah Fund Campaign of Women\u2019s League for Conservative Judaism (WLCJ). Torah Fund, the dedicated philanthropy of Women\u2019s League for Conservative Judaism, has raised over $113 million since its inception in 1942.<\/p>\n

In 1942, a small group of dedicated, resilient women recognized the need for a scholarship fund for Seminary students. The first campaign goal was to raise $10,000 through solicitations of $6.11, the Hebrew numerical equivalent of the word Torah<\/em>. In 1963, this campaign merged with the Mathilde Schechter Residence Hall campaign, which provided housing for undergraduate students. In time, the campaign identified needs and raised funds for many specific projects and programs. Click here<\/strong><\/a> for the Torah Fund Timeline that outlines the Torah Fund Special Projects completed since 1942.<\/p>\n

There are ongoing opportunities for sisterhood affiliates and individual donors to support worldwide Conservative\/Masorti institutions of higher Jewish learning through WLCJ\u2019s Torah Fund Campaign. Click here<\/a><\/strong> to view the institutions we currently support.<\/p>\n
