Case for Support

A Light For This Moment

There are moments when we need to think bigger. The world around us is changing so profoundly. The need for guidance, support, and leadership keeps growing. We need to grow, too. 

The Jewish people are at an inflection point. They are searching for meaning greater than themselves. They want an inspiring Judaism, offered with warmth. Never forced. Always welcoming. 

Around the world, Jewish students face unprecedented antisemitism on campus, often alone. And still, more of them wish to stand up proudly as Jews. 

In Israel, our soldiers and their families carry a burden no generation should have to bear. Our young people want to see the unity on the battlefield translated into a more cohesive society. But first they need the space to heal and the tools to become effective leaders. 

THIS IS OUR MOMENT.

For more than four decades, Ohr Torah Stone (OTS) has built institutions and programs that translate Torah into action and shape future leaders. We imbue thousands of teens and young adults with high-level academics and eternal Jewish values. We build Jewish unity and resilience in Israel. We strengthen communities abroad and bolster their bond with our eternal homeland: the State of Israel. 

The Guiding Light Campaign will let us open our doors to more students, send more rabbis and teachers where they are needed, and stand beside more people who are struggling. Together, we can shape a Jewish future illuminated by Torah, strengthened by leadership, and grounded in responsibility for one another. 

We invite you to become a Torchbearer. To carry the light of Torah forward with us.
