We are more than half way to our four million dollar goal to build and endow the Center for Jewish Life!  Response has been positive and enthusiastic, from alumni, parents, the W&L Board of Trustees, and the local Jewish community.

Fifty individuals and couples have already supported the project with gifts.  We appreciate all the interest shown, and we look forward to sharing more stories like this in the future.
