Women’s Philanthropy of Jewish Federation of St. Louis has launched a special program, “A Taste of Our Jewish Community,” to bring together a select group of women interested in learning more about our Jewish community and Federation’s role both locally and overseas. The unique six-part course provides an opportunity for individuals to enrich their knowledge of our community and connect with other community-minded Jewish women.
The class, previously called “Community Education Forum,” has not been offered since 2012. To maintain the quality of the experience, only a limited number of women were accepted to participate. This year, the following women will be getting a “flavor” of our community:

“We are thrilled to bring back this meaningful class with a fun, new twist so that these women can learn about our community in a creative way,” said Julie Gibbs, Director of Women’s Philanthropy. “Our passion for our Jewish community is a wonderful part of our lives and Women’s Philanthropy looks forward to exploring this further with the women in our class.”
Beginning October 23, “A Taste of Our Jewish Community” will run through March 2014, covering the following topics:
