Women's Division encourages women to participate in and support the fundraising efforts of JUF, develop community leadership, and increase their commitment and participation in Jewish communal life. The Women's Division consists of the Women's Board and Young Women's Board, which offer educational and fundraising programs as well as community service projects. Making a gift in one's own name is the best way for a woman to express her unique interests while building and revitalizing our local Jewish community, developing and sustaining our Jewish homeland, and helping fellow Jews in need in more than 50 countries around the world. Women's giving is fiscal evidence of the influence women exert as full partners and decision-makers in the family, the community, and the nation.
Women can impact Jewish political power.
United States government leaders count the number of givers when they measure support for Israel and local communities. Finally, women have an obligation to practice the mitzvah of Tzedakah. No one can do it for us. As women, we set an example of Tzedakah for our families by what we do as individuals. By giving as individuals, women can stand up and truly be counted.
