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.wlcj.org/torahfund/

Shema Koleinu – Hear Our Voice

Shema Koleinu, Hear our voice, marks 40 years since the first female cantor was invested. This year’s Torah Fund pin with its joyful women and musical symbolism expresses the right of every woman’s voice to be heard as we celebrate this anniversary. We help foster Jewish unity by our support of the global Conservative/ Masorti institutions of higher Jewish learning.

Our 2026-2027 Shema Koleinu campaign supports scholarships and programming at the worldwide Conservative/Masorti institutions of higher Jewish learning. Help strengthen Jewish education and ensure the vibrancy of the Jewish people for decades to come with your gift to Torah Fund.
