Join Women’s Philanthropy for a unique, six-course forum to enrich your knowledge of our community and connect with other community-minded Jewish women.

Women’s Philanthropy invites you to join us for Taste of Our Community—a meaningful, multi-session experience designed to educate, connect, and inspire. Through this unique program, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the vital work of the Jewish Federation and Women’s Philanthropy, explore the impact we make together, and discover ways to get involved. Along the way, you’ll build lasting connections with other passionate women who care deeply about strengthening our Jewish community. This intimate experience is designed to spark conversation, learning, and leadership—and space is limited to ensure a rich and engaging environment. We hope you’ll join us to learn, connect, and bring your voice to the table. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
