In honor of their father’s 70th birthday in February 2025, his children contributed to endow a fund titled “The Emunah Fund” to support UAlbany students along their Jewish journeys.
This fund will award small grants and stipends annually to UAlbany students to assist with the purchase of Tefillin or Jewish books and ritual objects, help towards study-travel in Israel or conference/retreats or yeshiva/seminary fees and expenses, or help defray additional costs of keeping Kosher etc. – all matters related to students’ personal Jewish journeys.
Students can apply for The Emunah Fund using this application form.
The Emunah Fund is housed and invested with the community funds at the Jewish Federation of Northeastern NY and administered and distributed by Shabbos House Rohr Chabad Jewish Student Center to annual UAlbany student awardees.
For additional information, or if others wish to contribute towards increasing this endowment, please contact Shabbos House.
