Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism

Every woman has the opportunity to participate in preserving, promoting and perpetuating Conservative/Masorti Judaism through active giving to the Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism in support of the Jewish Theological Seminary (New York, NY), Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies (Los Angeles, CA), Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies (Jerusalem), Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano (Buenos Aires, Argentina), and Zacharias Frankel College (Potsdam, Germany).

The Torah Fund campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism began in 1942 as a scholarship fund. In 1963, it merged with the Mathilde Schechter Residence Hall campaign that 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

For the past several years, funds raised by Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism have gone toward scholarships to all the schools. There are continuing opportunities for sisterhoods and individuals to provide support to all five institutions through Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism. Resultantly, thousands of dedicated volunteers have contributed to the spiritual, aesthetic and material well being of these educational communities by supporting Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism projects.
