Shalom friends,
My name is Adele Weinstein, and I am very excited to be the incoming INR Torah Fund Vice President. As a brief introduction, I would like to share with you some personal information – before we dive into the important work of Torah Fund.
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Steve, for 42 years. We have a 37-year-old daughter, Leah, who is married, and they have a 7 ½ year old daughter. Leah teaches at our Hebrew High School, Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto. I also have a 34-year-old son, Eli, who is married, and they have a 6-week-old son. Eli is an assistant director in the film business.
As I am now retired, I am very busy volunteering for my synagogue, Beth Tikvah in Toronto, and singing in the synagogue choir. I am taking part in the 3-year WLCJ Bat mitzvah class and I join other Women’s League members on Makom B’Yachad. I also enjoy painting pictures of my vacation spots. However, what I love the most is spending time with my sweet grandchildren.
I would like to thank Linda Boxer, our outgoing INR Torah Fund Vice President, for all her hard work, leadership and dedication during her term.
I look forward to working with all of our affiliates and the Torah Fund Chairs and sharing successful Torah Fund programs with you all. May we have great success in supporting our five institutions of higher learning in the years to come.
To get things rolling, please take a look at the Torah Fund flyer below for more information on our new campaign – “Am Yisrael Chai”! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at my email address listed below.
Let's keep those donations coming. Checks/cheques are given to your local Torah Fund Chair. In the US, checks are made payable to Torah Fund. In Canada, cheques are made payable to the Jewish Theological Society.
For those who prefer online giving, in the U.S.: Donate to Torah Fund (jtsa.edu) In the U.S., buy Torah Fund cards using this link: https://torahfundecards.jtsa.edu/
In Canada, you must start your online donation with the ecard platform. Purchase an ecard for $5.00, and then you may add an additional amount. Here is the link: https://torahfundecards.jtsa.edu/canadian/
Paper cards are available from your local Torah Fund chair. Chairs may order more supplies from the Torah Fund Office. Remember that cards must be pre-paid prior to shipping.
Consider joining the Torah Fund Legacy Society. As with donations to the current campaign, all bequests, large and small, are welcome. Beyond our lifetimes, we can make a difference in the Conservative/Masorti movement. More information can be found at: Torah Fund Legacy Society - Jewish Theological Seminary (jtsa.edu)
Let’s not forget about the special campaign called Creating New Spaces, which will equally fund two important projects: A “Women’s League Study Space” in the new undergraduate residence hall at The Jewish Theological Seminary, and a special course of training for rabbinical students at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, entitled “Women’s League Institute on Gender Bias and Harassment.”
Am Yisrael Chai,
Adele
