Donate to Letter by Letter: The NSCI Torah Project

WHAT WILL YOUR DONATION HELP TO ACCOMPLISH?

Letter by Letter: The NSCI Torah Project has some ambitious goals. As our annual fundraiser, we aspired to 1) support the writing of the Torah, 2) contribute to NSCI’s annual operations, and 3) fully fund a reserve dedicated to the repair and maintenance of our ritual objects. Thanks to our wonderful NSCI community, we are proud to share that together we have met each of these goals! Any additional funds raised from the writing of the Torah will be allocated to NSCI’s Endowment Fund—our single most important financial avenue for ensuring that our legacy continues for generations. Like our sacred Torah, NSCI’s endowment is a gift of sustenance that enables everyone in this community to be part of the flourishing of the Jewish people.
