Torah Fund Ecards  

I opened the email and was touched by what I read. It was from my close friend Rayanne W. and her note was simple but heartfelt. 

“This is so beautiful,” she wrote. “I am honored and touched. Thank you.” 

Rayanne was writing to thank me for an ecard I sent to her for Mother’s Day. While she is not my mother, the holiday was a good time to let her know how important she is in my life. Sending her this ecard allowed me to support a good cause. The card was bright and beautiful with original artwork by Bracha Lavee, a Jerusalem-based artist who combines beloved Biblical symbols with contemporary visual style. Emblazoned with the words Happy Mother’s Day at the top, the ecard was a Torah Fund selection. 

You have no doubt seen the notices in your region’s newsletter and in WL Week featuring the slogan: Think of Torah Fund For Any Greeting. The information talks about the Torah Fund ecards that can be sent for a variety of occasions as well as just for everyday greetings. The cards are only $5 per recipient—you can write a message and even schedule the card to be sent at a specific time. Revenue from each ecard purchase benefits the Torah Fund general campaign, which supports scholarships and programs at the five worldwide Conservative/Masorti institutes of higher education. 

The collection of Torah Fund ecards has always featured lovely selections to help send a get-well wish, mark a simcha or say thank you. There are holiday cards, birthday cards and even what is touted as an all-purpose card. Each can be sent in memory or in honor of someone special. Recently the collection of ecards was expanded with colorful new designs from Israeli artist Lavee. 

I knew sending a Torah Fund ecard was special. After all, I was donating to charity and my friend really loved it. It was only recently that I found myself on the other end of the email, experiencing just how meaningful it is to receive an ecard. 

Just a few days after opening the email from Rayanne, I opened another email. This one was from Lori Snow, a Women’s League friend, who, in her capacity as International Torah Fund Chair, knows a lot about Torah Fund ecards. Lori sent me a beautiful condolence card featuring Psalm 23 in Hebrew and English. Designed by artist Debra Band, the ecard explained the Twenty-Third Psalm, often recited at Yizkor and funeral services, offering David’s timeless vision of confidence in Divine protection and ultimate joy at union with the Almighty. 

Lori’s personal note touched my heart as she offered condolences on the loss of my “beloved and beautiful sister, Lynda.” The note continued, “I hope the good memories help you in this time of such sadness. May her memory be for a blessing.” Getting that card meant so much and really touched my heart. 

It is well known that Torah Fund ecards have a financial impact on the Torah Fund general campaign. But have you ever wondered if the ecards really leave an impression on the people sending and receiving them? As someone who recently both sent and received two beautiful cards in less than a week’s time, I can answer that question. Yes, they most certainly do.
