Click here to read Torah Fund’s message about the Creating New Spaces campaign!

Women’s League for Conservative Judaism is proud to announce that, effective July 1, 2026, we will assume administration of the Torah Fund Campaign, ushering in a new chapter in its 84-year history of supporting Conservative/Masorti Jewish education and leadership.

The 2026–2027 campaign, Shema Koleinu – שמע קולנו – Hear Our Voice, launches July 1, with the Torah Fund office now located at 3080 Broadway, Suite K900, New York, NY 10027. U.S. donors will continue to make checks payable to Torah Fund, and Canadian donors will continue to make cheques payable to the Jewish Theological Society (Toronto); online giving will be briefly paused for all donors June 27–30 during the transition. Join us in welcoming Morgan Long, Torah Fund Manager, and stay tuned for campaign updates!

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO REACH OUR COMFORT CASES GOAL!

Convention 2026 is almost here, and our WLCJ Social Action Project needs a final push!

We have partnered with Comfort Cases to ensure no child enters foster care carrying their belongings in a trash bag. Instead, we are providing them with dedicated backpacks filled with daily essentials, hygiene kits, and more.
