The Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah is an international Israel and Jewishness promoting grouping that "captures" prominent persons via social events, conferences, award ceremonies, etc.

The Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah raises money internationally to support the dynamic, rapidly-expanding educational outreach projects of Aish HaTorah, an organization committed to promoting universal Jewish precepts, foremost among them, perfecting the world. Toward that end, the Jerusalem Fund works with Jews and non-Jews.

Beyond that, Aish HaTorah seeks to teach young Jews about their heritage. Everyday, Jews walk away from Judaism, the Jewish community and commitment to the Jewish state not because of what they know but because of what they don't know.

"Come explore with us the ideas which have changed the world," is the Aish HaTorah approach to re-igniting Jewish pride. In doing so, Aish HaTorah works to build bridges between Jews of all persuasions.

The response has been overwhelming, with Aish HaTorah programs now being held in 80 cities representing 17 countries on five continents.

Former President Bill Clinton, former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, President of the former Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev, Great Britain's Lady Margaret Thatcher, former Vice President Al Gore, former Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel have endorsed the extraordinary work of Aish HaTorah.

Director Producer Steven Spielberg, Academy Award winner Kirk Douglas, CNN's Larry King, America's no. 1 radio talk show host, Dr. Laura Schlesinger have participated in Aish HaTorah programs.

Former President Bill Clinton

Congratulations to Aish HaTorah and to its founder, Rabbi Noah Weinberg, for his success in educating Jews about the power of their history and strength of their tradition.

Former Vice President Al Gore

I commend the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah and its founder Rabbi Noah Weinberg, for your leadership and your commitment to teaching the lessons of the Torah to Jews throughout the world.

Former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu

Aish HaTorah enables young Jews to visit their heritage, to become immersed in it, to understand the fount of inspiration that drives Jewish history, to become better Jews, prouder Jews, more secure Jews. I congratulate Aish HaTorah for what they're doing, where they're doing it, and for whom they're doing it.

Former Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher

The Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah has made tremendous strides in highlighting the key contributions of Jewish heritage to Western civilization. Keep up your excellent educational endeavors.

Former President Mikhail Gorbachev

I praise the Jerusalem Fund for strengthening the values based on which the Jewish people and the Jewish state have revived in modern times.
