Get To Know Us
“I would say that one of the greatest values is not only the larger lens about gender, but the opportunity to learn about how, primarily in our own Jewish community, there are big pockets at the margins whose needs we haven’t thought about, we haven’t addressed, and the power of doing that collectively and bringing these issues to the surface should not be underestimated. It’s a fantastic opportunity.”
“If I could make any other contribution to this movement before I leave this earth, it would be that the women who are participating in the funds begin to internalize and then actualize the values of trying to move the dials for women and girls.”
We Live Our Values Through Our Grant Making:
1) Tikkun Olam- Justice
