Apply
thru printer-friendly version (.pdf)
Established in December of 1969, Ramat
Shalom, an egalitarian conservative synagogue in Dexter Park Spring
Valley, dedicated itself to giving the children of the member families a
meaningful Jewish education in an informal setting. However, in 1997,
the synagogue closed and donations from the sale of the synagogue’s
assets were made to several organizations including the CJER to create a
scholarship fund for Jewish high school students.
Two scholarships of $500.00 apiece will be awarded to Rockland County
high school graduates, one male and one female, to be applied toward
their expenses during their first year of post-secondary education.
