Torah Fund Legacy Society: If Not Now, When?

We recently experienced a series of holy days. We spent our time reflecting on the past, asking G-d for forgiveness and affirming to do better going forth. Perhaps we have already made changes in our lives. 

Our Torah Fund Theme this year is Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh Ba’ Zeh: All of Israel Is Responsible for One Another. This speaks to our responsibility for each other and for Israel. The Legacy Society of Torah Fund is the perfect vehicle to set new goals to help accomplish this goal. 

How can you do this? 

The answer is quite simple: plan a donation to Torah Fund for when you are no longer here truly shows that you value the future of Conservative Judaism. 

Your legacy donation provides scholarships and many other opportunities for those studying at any one of the five seminaries of the Conservative/Masorti movement: The Jewish Theological Seminary (New York), The Schechter Institutes of Jewish Studies (Jerusalem), The Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies (Los Angeles), Seminario Rabínico Latinoamericano (Buenos Aires), and Zacharias Frankel College (Potsdam). When you make a donation, you are doing a very special mitzvah and perpetuating the rich culture and traditions of our people.

Our donors have always made legacy donations to Torah Fund; however, in 2019, Women’s League for Conservative Judaism decided to create a more formal structure for tracking these donations. It was very important to know in advance who was making a legacy gift. We are so proud to say that 78 women thus far are on the membership list of the Torah Fund Legacy Society! 

Each of these women can wear their Torah Fund pin with the lovely and noticeable legacy charm that attaches at the bottom of the pin. 

There is no minimum or maximum amount to donate as a planned gift. The process is simple and all you need to do is contact either one of us or the Torah Fund office to obtain a Bequest Confirmation form. 

We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your support. Todah Rabah.
