Support Sefaria
Dear Friend,
In honor of Shavuot, we set a goal of recruiting 500 new Sefaria Sustainers. Through recurring monthly donations, our current Sustainers cover a full third of what Sefaria needs to raise each year.
If you sign up today, you can keep Jewish texts free on Sefaria all year round (and you'll receive a free tote bag)! A recurring gift of $18, $10, or even $5 can make a real difference.
The future of Torah is in your hands. Can we count on you?
