Women

Women are the change-makers of the world. We are sisters and daughters, mothers and friends, compassionate and committed at every stage of our lives and careers. The Jewish Federation Women's Philanthropy engages women in the fulfilling work of making the world a better place. We are building and supporting Jewish life for today and generations to come.

Party With a Purpose


On May 21, 2019, we came together to celebrate our Jewish community and a very special group of Jewish community leaders at Party With a Purpose. Together we recognized Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey’s Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland (KWF) honorees and inducted our most recent honoree, Linda Block.

Events

Women’s Philanthropy events bring women together in enjoyable and meaningful ways that build camaraderie, self-enrichment, and shared ideals of community service. The premier women’s gala of the year is The Main Event each spring, with hundreds of attendees celebrating community and caring. More events include lectures and discussions, book talks, cooking classes, and more. Join our women's mailing list for early bird discounts and to hear first about events before they sell out.

Reflecting strength, honor, and dedication, the Lion of Judah society honors women who make a continuing annual gift of $5000 or more. As a Lion's contributions grow, she is invited to accent her pin with gem stones representing giving levels.

Endowed Lion

Establishing a Lion of Judah Endowment enables women to leave a legacy perpetuating their values through a permanent fund that guarantees her financial commitment of at least $5000 a year will be made to the Federation in perpetuity.
