    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Arev Fund Announces Second Annual Round of Grants New York, United States – February 5, 2018 - With great enthusiasm, The Arev Fund announces its grantees for the 2018 cycle. The grants support projects in the areas of spiritual leadership, communal life, social justice and education. The Arev Fund launched on January 15, 2016 as a giving circle of observant Jewish women with the mission of promoting impactful female Jewish philanthropy to spur change in the areas of spiritual leadership, communal life, social justice, and education in the United States and Israel, with a particular focus on the advancement of women. With this second round of grants, Arev continues to move its unique mission forward. This year, the area of Spiritual Leadership again received the largest allocation of Arev funding, as our members choose to continue to advance this issue both in the United States and in Israel with an additional year of funding. We are proud to endorse the promising developments in this burgeoning area, and are excited by the range and depth of the efforts to address women’s leadership in the Modern Orthodox community. Arev members chose to divide this grant among five different projects, each with a different approach to this issue. The projects are: Beit Hillel: Meshivat Nefesh - Women’s Spiritual Leadership Initiative Beit Hillel is an Orthodox leadership forum in Israel that includes rabbis, community scholars and leaders.
