Women Ensuring Conservative / Masorti Jewish Education

Every woman has the opportunity to participate in preserving, promoting and perpetuating Conservative/Masorti Judaism by giving to the Torah Fund Campaign of WLCJ. Torah Fund Campaign of WLCJ helps support programs and student scholarships at The Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles, Schechter Institutes of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires, and Zacharias Frankel College in Potsdam.

Torah Fund Campaign of WLCJ began in 1942 as a scholarship fund. In 1963, it merged with the Mathilde Schechter Residence Hall campaign, which provided housing for undergraduate students. In time, the campaign identified needs and raised funds for specific projects, including:

Women’s League Educational Pavilion (Kripke Tower)
Women’s League Seminary Synagogue
Mathilde Schechter Residence Hall Renovations
Goldsmith Hall
Residence Hall at the American Jewish University
JTS Quadrangle
JTS Library Bookshelves
Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies Garden

There are continuing opportunities for sisterhoods/affiliates and individual donors to help support all five Conservative/Masorti institutes of higher education through Torah Fund Campaign of WLCJ. Thousands of dedicated volunteers contribute to the spiritual, aesthetic and m

aterial well-being of these educational communities by supporting Torah Fund projects. More info about Torah Fund Campaign of WLCJ can be found here: https://www.jtsa.edu/torah-fund/

Torah Fund General Campaign

Oseh Shalom Bimromav, “may the One who makes peace in the heavens, make peace for us and all the people of Israel,” appears at the end of Kaddish and in other prayers, and is also a song. We help foster Jewish unity by our support of the five global Conservative/Masorti institutes of higher education.

We continue to develop our Torah Fund Legacy Society, offering planned giving options for our members to give an after-lifetime gift to Torah Fund.
