Why Torah Fund?
In most fundraising campaigns, 90% of the money comes from 10% of the donors. In Torah Fund, this truism is set on its ear! Torah Fund is maintained by tens of thousands of women making moderate gifts, totaling over $2.5 million annually!
One way to support Torah Fund is to purchase the all occasion cards. You can view the Torah Fund All Occasion Cards online. These beautiful cards can be yours for a minimum contribution of $4/card or $36 for 10 cards.
Contact Marie Wolpert at to purchase your cards.
