The YES Fund is the oldest continuing commitment shared by the Women of Reform Judaism.
The YES Fund represents the ongoing commitment of Women of Reform Judaism to strengthening the institutions of Reform Judaism and supporting its future leadership.
The Fund consists of contributions made by the purchase of the YES Fund Collection, a growing line of Uniongram items (High Holy Day Cards, Contribution Cards, Confirmation Cards, All-Purpose Note cards, Mazel Tov Cards, Thank-You Cards and Chai Certificates) as well as cash donations. Our Sisterhood supports the YES Fund by purchasing a package of Uniongrams for each of our members and sending out cards to our Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Confirmation, and Graduation classes.
Through the YES Fund, local Sisterhoods help fund the Union of American Hebrew Congregations high school and college youth activities and provide financial aid for North American rabbinic students on the campuses of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion located in Cincinnati, New York and Los Angeles. Our rabbinic students receive scholarships through the YES Fund. Overseas rabbinic students are also assisted by the YES Fund’s support for the World Union for Progressive Judaism. The recipients, in return, serve for five years in World Union congregations, helping to further the growth and development of Progressive Judaism. Another major beneficiary of the YES Fund is the Jewish Braille Institute. Women of Reform Judaism is the patron body of the JBI and has remained a staunch supporter, both on a volunteer and financial basis, since its inception in 1931.
