There is a place that shares your ideals.<br />

A place where women believe in their heads and in<br />

their hearts that things can and should be better.<br />

It is the National Council of Jewish Women.<br />

And now, it’s more important than ever that<br />

compassionate women find a place to come<br />

together and take a stand.<br />

OUR SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL<br />

For more than 60 years, <strong>NCJW</strong> has the reputation as the foremost<br />

progressive US Jewish women’s organization dedicated to women’s<br />

empowerment and gender equality in Israel.<br />

Israel Granting Program: <strong>NCJW</strong> awards grants to organizations and<br />

programs that address women’s rights, education, social justice, human<br />

trafficking and domestic violence. Through Yad B’Yad (Hand in Hand with<br />

Israel), <strong>NCJW</strong> provides grants for literacy childhood development and<br />

enrichment for disadvantaged children and families.<br />

Advocacy and Coalition Work: <strong>NCJW</strong> is a member of numerous coalitions<br />

that aim to ensure the rights and well being of Israeli women, children and<br />

families. We are involved in social action and advocacy issues in the areas of<br />

poverty, hunger, tolerance, co-existence, the promotion of equal citizenship<br />

for all Israelis and women’s empowerment.<br />

Commitment to Education: Our two most notable programs are the <strong>NCJW</strong><br />

Women and Gender Studies Program at Tel Aviv University and<br />

the <strong>NCJW</strong> Research Institute for Innovation in<br />

Education (RIFIE) at Hebrew University.
