Statement from the President

Rabbanit Malke Bina

Dear students,

For twenty years now Matan has been giving a voice to your Torah.
We are leaders in Torah study for women that is meaningful and multi-
layered, through tens of classes aimed at a wide range of people,
across varied media, in Israel and worldwide. It warms the heart when
Torah study comes alive and we meet you, in the Beit Midrash and
outside it.
Thank God that the thirst for Torah keeps growing all the time, and
here at Matan we continue striving to expand the tools in order to
promote the voice of women’s Torah study.
You, the students and lovers of Torah, are valuable partners in this
important journey.
Together with you we will reach the new goals that we have set
for ourselves, and we will continue to be innovators in Torah study,
expanding and enhancing the Torah.

I want to personally thank each and every one of you who joins in
this important effort.

Together we will give a voice to our Torah.
Together we will give a home to our Torah.
Together we will give a place to our Torah.
Together we will grow the Torah of Matan.

What is an ytooTur ORVGAOivIeHCsEa

?Ambassadors’

Campaign
Working to expand Matan’s voice

This time we’re working together, hundreds of activists,
teachers, students, in Israel and around the world, each
one doing their part for Matan. We’ll work together for
one week in order to amplify the voice of Matan, broaden
the circle of influence and expand our Torah study.

Every Ambassador Sets Their Own Personal Goal

Every one of you sets a personal financial goal for what
you hope to raise during the campaign.

Approaching Donors

Each of us has students, teachers, and an inner circle of
family and friends. Experience teaches that a personal
approach, emphasizing your personal connection to Matan,
is the best way to bring them into the family of those
supporting Matan’s voice.

Together We Can Reach Our Goal

Throughout the campaign each of us will strive to reach
their goal. At the end of the process, together we will reach
the collective goal we set for ourselves to give our Torah a
voice, the Torah of Matan.

Each student needs resources. Lend a hand so we can add
more students.

Expanding the Bat Mitzvah program for families of
limited means
Our Bat Mitzvah program instills meaning to the Bat
Mitzvah milestone. Every year we help families who
don’t have the means to afford the program. This

doors to more of these mothers and daughters. The
program is international - help us increase its influence

Shayla -online platform for Halakhic Q&A
The questions we receive through the website are
answered by a Halakha committee which includes
rabbis and rabbaniyot. This enables people to

are then published with detailed references.

everyone, even if it’s beyond their means.

could not afford it to connect to Torah, and our hope
is to continue to do so by expanding the circle of
learning.

Group Leaders

Opening

Shalom _______________, How are you doing? I’m calling because
Matan is launching an Ambassadors’ Campaign with the help
of Charidy. The crowdfunding campaign will start on May 25th
for a week. The campaign requires the efforts of each and every
ambassador. Each ambassador who is personally connected to
Matan will be asking their circle of friends and acquaintances to
make a contribution.

Tell them about your goal

In order to draft as many Ambassadors as possible we need your
help as a group leader.
Each group leader is asked to recruit ten Ambassadors, and then to
follow up to make sure that they are actively pursuing their goals.
A group leader is also an Ambassador in their own right, as well as
taking responsibility for the ambassadors under them. This primarily
involves speaking with your ambassadors, explaining the campaign
to them, and inviting them to a launch evening. There will also be
a preparatory meeting with the Charidy staff, who will explain how
the campaign works, and the role of each group leader (date will vary
with location).
I’m turning to you because I know that you will be an excellent group
leader, and hope that you’ll take on the job. The group leaders will have a
direct effect on the success of the campaign, which is why we want you
with us in a volunteer capacity; we think you will be excellent in the role.
Of course, we will provide you with material for the campaign,
including clips, blurbs for publishing on social media, etc. At the
meeting with Charidy we will be explain everything and there will be
time for questions.

Thank you very much!

How do I ytooTur ORVGAOivIeHCsEa
encourage

?participation
In our experience, these kinds of discussions, even with close friends,
can meet with resistance. It’s important to speak with conviction
and to be fully familiar with our goals. The more determined we are
and the clearer we are regarding our needs, the greater likelihood
of receiving a donation. Here are some examples of objections and
ways to respond to them:

This is not a good time

No problem. When would be a good time?

I have a standing contribution to another organization

Thank you for supporting the important goals of this other
organization. However, this is an opportunity to help Matan expand
their activities. Your contribution will make it possible to add
additional students to our Beit Midrash, to promote the bat mitzvah
program for needy families, to offer hundreds of classes every week,
study days, festive Tefilla, trips and more... Our study community
influences not just the women who take part themselves, but also
their families and communities in Israel and around the world.

I don’t donate through the Internet

Credit cards are guaranteed by the security system of Charidy. Their
system is authorized by all the international credit card companies.
Immediately upon completion of your contribution you will receive
a notice by email verifying the transaction.

I don’t give my credit card number over the phone
