Supporting Our Future with the Torah Fund

Dear Women of Beth El,

The theme for the 2025-26 Torah Fund campaign is Oseh Shalom - Maker of Peace!

The Torah Fund mission is to help optimize educational opportunities for our future Jewish leaders. When you contribute, you enhance the education of these future Jewish leaders at the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS). 

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 institutions of higher education.

Beth El has reaped the benefits of the education provided by the JTS, because Rabbi Rosen, Rabbi Tobenstein, Rabbi Garber, Rabbi Zerin and Cantor Ness are all graduates of the JTS. Most of the students at these schools cannot afford to be there on their own. The scholarships and programs funded by Torah Fund help them make ends meet. They can’t do it alone, and Torah Fund can’t do it without you.

Torah Fund would welcome your Benefactor ($180.00) or Guardian ($300.00) donations, and as a thank you, we will send you the beautiful pin shown above. We also welcome ANY OTHER AMOUNT that you would like to donate.

Thank you for your help in supporting the future generation of Conservative Jewish clergy, teachers, and lay leaders!

Please make out checks to TORAH FUND and send them to Jill Jones as soon as possible, but no later than December 1 at:

Jill Jones
10 High Point Lane
West Hartford, CT 06107
 

Please note that this donation can no longer be made through your account at Beth El or through the Beth El office.

Sincerely,

Jill Jones                                                            Michelle Kunzman
