Nishmat and the Alisa Flatow Program

Just checking my email and up came a Google Alert about Nishmat, a post-high school institution in Jerusalem, and its Alisa Flatow Overseas Students Program that is designed to educate young women from, well, overseas.

The email features a video about the program produced by Shmuel Hoffman in which students and administrators comment about Nishmat and the Alisa Program. Here's the link.

For more information about Nishmat and its programs, go to www.nishmat.net.

Study in Israel - Scholarship fund helps hundreds

The Alisa Flatow Memorial Scholarship Fund has been granting scholarships for post-high school study in Israel since 1996.

While the study must be religious in nature, scholarships are available to men and women whether they be Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist or unsure. More information about the Fund and applications are available through the Fund's website www.alisafund.org.

And now a word from the sponsor:

The Alisa Flatow Memorial Scholarship Fund does gratefully accept contributions. The demand for scholarship assistance is great and the Fund does need partners.

Contributions by check should be made payable and mailed to:

Jewish Community Foundation of MetroWest

If you care to contribute on line, please go here.

I thank you for your support.
