Community Outreach and Education

Community Connections
Connections is a learning series designed to educate women about Jewish topics, family issues and current events, while heightening our Jewish identity and enabling us to meet other women in our community. These programs are geographically located throughout the metropolitan area of Chicago and are held at different times of the day to appeal to a large and diverse group of women.

Game Day 
An opportunity to come together with women from the community for a luncheon and an afternoon of games, including Duplicate Bridge, Social Bridge, Mah Jongg or Canasta.

Leadership Development

A Step Beyond is a series that involves participants in discussions and workshops surrounding current political, social and economic issues that affect the lives of American Jewish women. In addition, the participants learn about the tough choices the community makes when allocating resources.
