The Alisa Flatow Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Alisa Flatow Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established to encourage others to follow in Alisa's footsteps in a year long program offering the full-time pursuit of traditional Jewish studies at schools in the State of Israel.

The number of scholarships is quite limited and are awarded on a competitive basis. To qualify for a scholarship award, studies must be of a post-high school nature. Study can be in programs which earn college credits. (For instance, a student may attend a yeshiva and receive credits which may be applied to a degree program at a University.) Programs at Israeli universities and institutions and other organizations that combine secular and Judaic studies will be reviewed by the Fund's Committee to determine eligibility on a case by case basis. In all cases, an approved institution must have a 501(c)3 tax-exempt status and must also have an American affiliate mailing address.

Awards are given based on a combined scholarship and need basis. The intention of the Alisa Flatow Memorial Scholarship Fund is for it to be especially valuable to those students students showing academic promise in their religious studies and the need for financial assistance to pursue study in Israel. Students already studying in Israel should not apply for the scholarship, as other programs exist to assist them.

The Alisa Flatow Scholarship Fund will not be accepting applications for the 2018-2019 or the 2019-2010 school year as we revamp and revise our program.

For scholarship assistance we suggest the following sources:

Your local Jewish Community Federation
MASA
Your synagogue
StudyInIsrael.org
American Jewish League for Israel
Helyn B. Reich Memorial Scholarship Fund
Dorot Foundation

Other sources may be found on line or through recommendations of your guidance counselor.

How sex cams support Jewish couples in building safe relationships

Published on 16 May 2025

The idea of using cams for couples may seem unconventional when viewed through the lens of Jewish teachings on modesty and privacy. Yet, with thoughtful application, this tool can align with the values of emotional care and connection. Couples often seek ways to harmonize their faith with the challenges of distance or other barriers to closeness. By prioritizing safety and respecting sacred boundaries, couples cams can serve as a way to fortify relationships.

Intimacy within Jewish marriages extends far beyond physical touch. It includes emotional nearness, shared support, and spiritual harmony. The principle of shalom bayit, meaning peace in the home, reflects the deep value placed on spousal unity.

Modern life, though, often disrupts this balance. Long-distance scenarios, whether from career demands, military service, or extended religious studies, can create feelings of isolation. Such separation may lead to unmet emotional needs, straining the foundation of a couple’s bond.

Webcams for couples provide a practical way to sustain intimacy across distances. They create a private space for couples to share personal moments, easing the burden of being apart. This doesn’t replace face-to-face connection but acts as a temporary link to meet emotional and physical needs safely...MORE

From Couple Cams to Kedushah: Navigating Intimacy and Sanctity in the Jewish Tradition

In a world where intimacy is often reduced to a commodity—clickable, consumable, and disconnected from human dignity—Jewish tradition offers a radical countervision. The modern landscape of adult entertainment, particularly couple cams platforms, thrives on transactional interactions, algorithmic exploitation of loneliness, and the flattening of sacred human connection into pixels. Judaism, with its millennia-old framework of kedushah (holiness), challenges this degradation by insisting that intimacy is not a commodity to exploit but a sacred act to cherish.

This tension between the hypersexualized digital age and Jewish ethics is not merely philosophical—it’s a pressing social justice issue. From labor rights in the adult industry to LGBTQ+ inclusivity in religious spaces, reclaiming intimacy as kedushah represents a radical act of systemic change. By examining Jewish ethical teachings, modern activism, and progressive reinterpretations of sacred texts, we can chart a path toward a more just and holy understanding of human connection.

The couple cams industry is a $14 billion global market, with workers often facing exploitation, wage theft, and severe mental health challenges—all while tech platforms reap massive profits. Jewish ethics, rooted in tzelem Elokim (the belief that every human is made in the divine image), directly opposes this reduction of people to objects. The Talmud (Sanhedrin 45a) explicitly warns against humiliating or dehumanizing others, framing human dignity as non-negotiable. ...MORE
