Jewish Women International

Sarah Milgrim was a beloved member of Jewish Women International’s DC community. Please join us tomorrow evening at 6:15 pm ET for a virtual candle lighting as we process this devastating loss and the horrific murder of Sarah and Yaron together.

The hostages and their families are top of mind for us this Shabbat. May they all come home as soon as possible. We are eagerly awaiting their return. #bringthemhomenow

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Josselin Corea Escalante and all those affected by this devastating event. Hate has no place in our society, and we must stand together to confront and eradicate it.

With an incoming Administration and Congress that are expected to prioritize gun access over public health and safety, many gun violence prevention advocates—including those from faith communities—are asking, what comes next? RSVP for tonight's webinar: buff.ly/401SxG4

The horrors of Oct 7 continue to have lasting impacts on the survivors and their loved ones. ADL welcomed the chance to partner with @JewishWomenIntl to urge @SpeakerJohnson, @RepJeffries, @SenSchumer, @LeaderMcConnell, & others to help pass the American Victims of Terrorism Compensation Act to help provide justice to the U.S. victims of Hamas' attack.

During the next four years, we will certainly face many challenges. But we can assure you that we’ll be here, fighting to make the world a better place for women and girls, no matter what. We hope you will stand with us.

Recently, the Violence Policy Center released their annual study for DVAM. More than 2,400 females were killed by males in 2022, and 9 in 10 knew their killer. Read more at the link in bio.

It’s been a tough year. The Jewish world has been tested in ways many never expected, but we’ve come out stronger, tougher, and more resilient than ever. May you continue to find light in the darkest places and strength you never knew you had. #ShanaTova.

Remember to get your briskets ready and set your intentions for 5785.

May your final Shabbat of the year fill you with peace, gratitude, and maybe an early slice of Bubbie’s brisket.

Strength is also knowing when to rest. Shabbat shalom.

'Reservation Dogs' star D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai appeared at the Emmys with a bright red handprint painted on his face, a symbol of solidarity with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement. We encourage you to learn more about this dire situation from @niwrc.

Shabbat shalom. Let's be each other's light.

We stand with survivors, always. #IBelieveIsraeliWomen

On October 7, Hamas committed horrific gender-based violence against Israeli women and men. Jewish feminist activists faced a crisis as parts of the global feminist movement downplayed or ignored this violence. Register now: buff.ly/47pO5CV
