The Ner L'Elisheva Foundation was created in 2002 to perpetuate the memory of Rebbetzin Elisheva Shayna (Liz) Shuchat-Schwartz, of blessed memory. The Foundation's goal is to enhance Jewish traditional education in the State of Israel as well as to seek out new expressions of Israeli-Jewish culture. Furthermore the Foundation seeks ways and means to bridge gaps in Israeli society between Jews of religious and non-religious backgrounds in a meaningful dialogue.

In conjunction with the Claims Conference Against Germany we have an annual trip to Poland. The trip includes historical sites related to Jewish history and the Shoah as well as meetings with local Jewish students and more.

 

Liz's short life was a paradigm for kindness and love, teaching, listening and bridging the gaps between groups and individuals.

Already in 2000, we received requests from students from the FSU to assist them in the process of conversion in Israel. In most cases the father was Jewish. The issue of conversion is both a personal and sensitive one and needs to be dealt with with great care. What are we doing in order to assist them?
