Dear friends,
As we approach the end of another Jewish year, and so another cycle of Torah readings, we at Kolel have stopped to evaluate and take stock of our weekly parsha offerings. We are so proud to have supplied over ten years of the highest quality weekly learning both on the web and to you, our subscribers, for free. Rabbi Jeremy Schwartz began the series, followed by Rabbi Neal Loevinger, Baruch Sienna, and Rabbi Michal Shekel. Each one has had a unique "spin" on the weekly portion and has educated, enlightened, even entertained us while connecting us to the Torah and its deeper meanings. Our weekly parsha is read by over 2500 subscribers and by scores of people on the web. Our readers come from all over the world, and include Rabbis, Cantors, educators, laypeople, beginners to advanced, Jews-by-choice, those considering conversion, and Christians, Muslims and others eager to learn more and understand Judaism better.
That is why we are turning to you for support. We know there are many free sites where you can learn Torah, but we think ours is unique in its depth, quality, and outlook. That is why we are asking each subscriber and each weekly reader to make a donation this year to enable us to offer a new series for the coming new year of 5771.
It's simple: click on the link at the end of this letter and make an $18 "parsha subscription donation." If enough subscribers do this, it will enable us to offer a new series beginning at the beginning- Bereshit! Or make a $36 donation and we will honour a loved one with a parsha sponsorship noted in the parsha on our web and when it goes out. (Please indicate the person you are honouring, in memory of or in honour of, and if appropriate, a specific week or parsha you’d like to sponsor.) If you live outside of Canada, the link will work for you to use whatever credit card you wish and will translate it to Canadian funds. Each donor will get an automatic tax receipt from Canada Helps. If you prefer, you can call in your donation to Karen at 416-638-1881 ext 4255 or mail it to Kolel, 4588 Bathurst Street, Toronto ON M2R 1W6 and we will mail you a tax receipt.
Perhaps there is someone, a family, or a group of people who would sponsor the entire year? If so, please get in touch directly with me at Rabbi Elyse Goldstein.
We have a month to raise the funds to enable us to offer a new series of writings from a new author. We need to raise those funds before the beginning of Sukkot, SEPT. 22, in order to begin at Bereshit, so please click the link and donate now.
Thank you for your support of a wonderful learning project, and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!
Rabbi Elyse Goldstein
