2026 PARTNERS
We are grateful for our partnership with the Simchat Torah Challenge. On Shavuot, we recall standing at Mount Sinai and celebrate the gift of the Torah—but the joy of learning doesn’t have to end when the holiday does. Discover your roots and keep growing all year long by joining the Simchat Torah Challenge, a community of nearly 40,000 Jews reading one Torah portion each week. Whether you’re just beginning or have been learning for years, you’ll connect with the wisdom that has guided our people for generations.
We are pleased to present a track with our cosponsor, the World Zionist Organization (WZO). Our organizations share a deep connection to Israel. We weave our relationship with Israel into our diverse Jewish identities and collectively explore its sights, sounds, history, and complexity. We are grateful to the WZO for their generosity and creativity in the creation of five excellent Tikkun sessions.
LiveOnNY is a nonprofit organization committed to helping New York live on through organ and tissue donation and to caring for the families touched by donation.
