War impacts women and girls in distinct ways — economically, physically, and emotionally — yet women remain vastly underrepresented in decision-making about security, policy, and the future.
On March 11th, hear from Israel's feminist leaders about this critical moment. RSVP: ncjw.org/israel
Here’s to the women who didn’t wait their turn. 💪
For 130+ years, National Council of Jewish Women has been making history alongside generations of women who lead, challenge, and change the world.
This Women's History Month, we honor all women — past and present — who turn purpose into action.
NCJW Bergen County and NCJW Essex have championed reproductive freedom in their communities for decades because reproductive freedom is a Jewish value. We're proud to award them with Jewish Fund for Abortion Access grants to support their work even further!

Happy Purim! 🎭️
We're kvelling over these bold, inspiring & glamorous NCJW advocates from 1929.
Celebrating Purim during Women’s History Month is the perfect combination to honor Queen Esther — and all women — who use their voices, power, and leadership to shape history.
What do Vashti and Esther really teach us about power and resistance? This Purim, we examine both of their stories through a feminist lens. Check out what lessons we can learn from these women and read more on our blog. 📖
We're proud to be speaking today at @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social's panel about how we're mobilizing our communities to protect democracy. Thank you to A More Perfect Union,
@bendthearc.bsky.social, and @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social for chatting with us today!
As Jewish advocates, we have a responsibility to pursue tzedek, or justice, above all else. And, as defenders of democracy, that includes ensuring equal access to the ballot box. Thanks to @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social for hosting this conversation!
Our grief continues.
Our mourning deepens.
As this war rages on, at least nine Israelis have been killed today in Beit Shemesh, where a synagogue shelter meant to protect life became a site of major loss.
We pray for a future where every person can live in safety and dignity, and we will always strive for a future where everyone can live in safety, dignity, and peace. 🇮🇱 ❤️
We are holding close the women, children, and families across Israel sheltering in safe rooms as missiles continue to fall, the brave service members risking their lives, as well as all of the innocent civilians across the region.
As Shabbat comes to an end in the US, our hearts are heavy as we mourn innocent lives lost across the region, including at least one person reported dead after a missile barrage in Tel Aviv.
Laila Edwards made history at this year's Winter Olympics, becoming the first Black woman to play, score, and win gold for Team USA hockey. 🥇
As Black History Month comes to a close, we honor her leadership, strength, and power in breaking barriers.
Shabbat Shalom!
Repro Shabbat hits the road! 🚙 🚗
There were so many amazing Repro Shabbat moments nationwide — including local challah drop offs in state houses across the country! Shout out to NCJW Colorado, NCJW Sacramento, and NCJW Peninsula for sharing these photos of meetings with your local legislators!
You get your own!

NCJW Atlanta's Mitzvah-In-Motion day partnered with Plan A Health to pack safe sex kits and new baby kits for neighbors across the Mississippi Delta and Southwest Georgia.
This meaningful day turned our values of dignity, equity, and care into action. Kol hakavod!
This is the moment when lawmakers in the audience chanted "USA" in response to President Trump's lies and falsehoods about immigrants. This is dangerous, unacceptable behavior from members of Congress. #SOTU2026
The Trump administration's deployment of troops to our cities has brought violence and terror to our communities. Families afraid to send their children to school. Parents afraid to go to work.
This is not law and order. This is chaos and devastation.
You can't claim to care about the lives of children when ICE and CBP continue to tear families apart and even detain children.
