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!

LEAVE YOUR MARK IN THE VIRTUAL JOURNAL: TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

Not only is the Virtual Journal live, so you will be able to see your ads soon after submitting, but it will also be displayed during all of Convention 2026, and available on our website until December 2028, making it the ultimate platform to elevate the women who make our community shine. Every single ad is a direct investment in the future of WLCJ and a beautiful tribute to your fellow sisters.

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.

PIN COLLECTORS' CORNER

PIN IT FORWARD: BUILDING COLLECTIONS, SUPPORTING TORAH FUND

We are delighted to invite our Torah Fund donors to bring their surplus pins to Convention to donate to Torah Fund. All pin donations will be gratefully accepted on Friday, July 10, and Sunday, July 12. Please note that we will not be able to accept any pins after 1:30 pm on Sunday.

To help complete your collections—or simply enjoy pins from past years—we will be offering these vintage Torah Fund pins for a small donation to Torah Fund. A donation of $10 per

individual pin, or $100 for unlimited pins (one per year from the years selected), will help you find the pins you need while supporting Torah Fund. Cash, checks, and credit cards will be

accepted.

Special arrangements will also be available for those interested in receiving batches of pins from a specific year.

The pins will be available at a special table at Convention and organized by year. Now is the perfect opportunity to finish that shadow box of pins! All proceeds will benefit Torah Fund.

In addition, instructions will be available on how to create beautiful tallit clips from Torah Fund pins. This could be a wonderful project for you or your affiliate! These clips are not only

beautiful, but also serve as meaningful Torah Fund keepsakes. 

Email jkirschner@wlcj.org with any questions.
