Pacific Southwest Region

Kehillah Kedoshah- Celebrating Community Woman to Woman

We, the community of women that comprise the Pacific Southwest Region of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, are great supporters of the Torah Fund Campaign. As donors to Torah Fund we provide vital support to the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, The Jewish Theological Seminary, Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, and Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano.

We have created this booklet to honor the donors to Torah Fund. Please share with the women in your Sisterhood community by hard copy or by directing the women to www.wlcj.net/psw.

This is not a complete list. Space permits listing only Benefactors and above. The campaign is by no means over, and we are receiving new donors every day.

Please be assured that any contributions from $1.00 in the Tzedakah box to Keter Kavod makes a big difference in the lives of the students. Your support ensures that there will be Rabbis, Cantors, teachers, and lay leaders in the Conservative movement for generations to come.

Todah Rabbah,
Renee Ravich                                 Marilyn Berkowitz
Torah Fund Vice President             Region President
