Have you ever thought about Estate Planning which will perpetuate your commitment to Judaism into the
future? By contacting the New York office (cabaron@jtsa.edu, 212.578.8027), they will send you a
booklet on Estate Planning which will describe various possibilities for you to include your bequest to the
Jewish Theological Seminary in your will. Consider these options to Torah Fund when you make your
donation this coming year. Whatever level you choose to contribute to Torah Fund, we appreciate your
donation.
The pin for 5769, Lev v'Nefesh: Heart and Soul
This year's pin, with its image of two doves, is an apt metaphor for
the dual aspects -- physical and spiritual -- that comprise the whole
self. When Shema instruct us daily to love God with all our heart and
all our soul, it means the entirety of our being. Through the
performance of mitzvot, we bring these dualities into harmony. Your
support of The Jewish Theological Seminary, Ziegler School of
Rabbinic Studies, and Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies ensures
the solid and healthy future of Conservative/Masorti Judaism.
Keter Kavod Pin Crown of Honor
The fourteen-karat-gold pin replicates an eighteenth-century
manuscript from the Rare Book Room of The Library of The
Jewish Theological Seminary. It is a gift to those who commit to
an annual $5,000 unencumbered contribution to Torah Fund.
