Mayanot’s latest fundraising initiative, the ‘Mayanot
Scholarship Raffle’ began this past May and has had tremendous success so far.
The initiative is an exciting new campaign that calls on
Alumni to sell 5 tickets to parents, friends, co-workers, or acquaintances.
The raffle features a grand prize of a dream vacation to
Jerusalem for two, which includes 2 business class tickets to Israel, a one
week stay in the luxurious David Citadel Hotel and a car rental. Other exciting prizes include an Apple iPad Air and a beautiful pair of gem earrings!
The initiative is
being piloted by Rabbi Moshe Silver, project coordinator for Mayanot Alumni in
the United States.
Rabbi Silver
commented about the importance of the campaign, “There is nothing more
significant than giving interested students the opportunity to learn about
yiddishkeit, when they otherwise wouldn't have any chance to engage.”
Mayanot is excited by the response of alumni and friends
who have been contacting and selling tickets to friends and family. We are
confident this effort will allow us to offer many scholarships to our students.
The benefit of helping to raise money in this way not
only allows alumni and friends to take part and stay connected to Mayanot. It
ensures that all students who wish to attend Mayanot will not be turned away
due to financial constraints.
The scholarship raffle initiative allows our alumni to
help future Mayanot students and the encouraging feedback we are receiving is
unprecedented. We hope to only grow from strength to strength and the Mayanot
family appreciates the continued support and contributions!
