The JWF Power Lunch is a roundtable luncheon where participants work together with powerful women to learn how they can make a difference in the lives of Jewish women and girls, choose from a list of topics and a variety of speakers focused on women's issues, and interact with experts ready to motivate, educate and enlighten the audience.

Women Who Dared

Currently on hiatus

In celebration of Women's History Month, the Jewish Women's Foundation, Women's Division of the Jewish United Fund, and the Jewish Women's Archive honors: Women Who Dared.

Women Who Dared celebrates the brave actions and bold life choices of the everyday Jewish female heroes in our midst. Contemporary women who have dared to stand up for the rights of others-sometimes at their own peril - are chosen biennially. Their personal stories and inspirational accounts of social and political activism are collected and presented in an expanding Jewish Women's Archive web exhibit. 

Read a blog entry by the Jewish Women's Archive on Wendy Abrams and Wendy Platt Newberger 2009 honorees.
