In 2004, WRJ initiated the Sisterhoods Say YES campaign enabling sisterhood presidents to proudly wear a Lifeline pin during their presidency and giving them the opportunity to talk about the wonderful people and programs of the YES Fund (Youth, Education, and Special Projects).

Several sisterhoods that had previously contributed Silver Lifelines have increased their endowment to a Gold Lifeline – which is passed from one president to her successor at the end of her term. These sisterhoods have set a high standard for their members, and for all sisterhoods, by their example.

We want to offer you the same opportunity – if your sisterhood pledges a Gold Lifeline

now, your Silver Lifeline donation will count toward that pledge. Over ninety sisterhoods have already said YES to a Silver Lifeline…we hope you will TAKE THE LEAP to endowing the next level of gift which will ensure the future of the YES Fund. A Gold Lifeline endowment is $5,000, and your prior $1,000 or $1,800 donation for a Silver Lifeline will be credited toward your $5,000 pledge.

If your sisterhood has not yet said YES to donating a Lifeline, it’s not too late to help WRJ continue our support of rabbinic and cantorial students, the youth of our Movement, and organizations throughout the Reform Jewish Community.
