Lempert Family Foundation



Our work takes four forms.

1. Remembering a once-thriving Jewish community in Eastern Europe

    Since 2001, the Foundation has been working on projects focusing on the story of Jewish community of Oradea, a major city in northwestern Romania. In place since 2003 is an extensive Web site, a virtual world of the past and present of this community.

    Please see OradeaJC.com.

2. Bringing attention to the work of American poets and the value of poetry in everyday life

    REMproductions, the media group of the Foundation, is developing a feature documentary film about poets and poetry  in the U.S. today, as well as shorter, more narrowly focussed documentary works for the poetry community and general public..

    Please see www.PoetryMattersNow.org

3. Exploring the Torah Scroll: the how's and why's of its making, its holiness and its value to different faiths

    REMproductions, the media group of the Foundation, is developing a feature documentary film with the working title “As it Is Written: A sacred scroll comes into being” targeted for completion in early 2016.

4. Supporting established charities and institutions financially

    The Foundation makes donations to established charities and non-profit institutions. These include organizations whose focus is on: arts and education; human rights; children at risk; refugees; Jewish continuity. At this time proposals are accepted by invitation only.
