The Sisterhood of NSS Beth El has a long history of supporting the Conservative/Masorti Movement’s Torah Fund through the sponsorship of an impressive array of adult educational experiences.
While no donation is too large or too small, a suggested minimum annual donation of $54 per person covers attendance at any or all of each year’s Torah Fund educational opportunities, all of which are open to everyone (women and men, Beth El members and non-members).
For 5783, Sisterhood is proud to be partnering with the Gertrude Lederman Continuing Education Program to sponsor ScholarStream. Beginning on 8/31/22 and continuing until Shavuot 2023, the Conservative Movement seminaries and institutions will offer seven (7) online series that will bring you face-to-face with the brightest and most engaging scholars our Movement has to offer.
Everyone who makes a minimum $54 donation to Torah Fund can request a discount code, allowing them to access all 28 lectures for FREE!
Donations to Torah Fund can be made via any one of these methods:
PLEASE NOTE: Donors at the Benefactor level ($180) and above will receive the beautiful 5783 Torah Fund pin which may also be worn as an eye-catching pendant. This year’s pin, entitled “Chazak v’Ematz” (Be Strong and Courageous), celebrates 80 years of the Torah Fund Campaign. Click here for information about Torah Fund’s 2022-23 Chazak v’Ematz Campaign.
