Our Work in Israel
NCJW’s work in Israel directly mirrors the organization’s efforts to create progressive social change in the US. NCJW’s pioneering Israel programs foster and support education, promote the empowerment of women, and bridge the gaps in society for Israel’s
vulnerable women, children, and families. In 2002, NCJW welcomed a partnership with US/Israel Women to Women (W2W), an organization dedicated to supporting grassroots programs and advocacy efforts for women in Israel. This partnership continues to create meaningful opportunities to build on a shared legacy of courageous, compassionate work.
NCJW has been actively involved in Israel for more than 60 years, with programs like the NCJW Research Institute for Innovation in Education (RIFIE) at the Hebrew University and the NCJW Women & Gender Studies Program at Tel Aviv University forming the cornerstones of NCJW’s historical education work there. Today, strategic efforts like the Israel Granting Program and NCJW’s advocacy and coalition work continue in this spirit of education and empowerment — helping to advance the lives of women, children, and families and ensure Israel’s future.
NCJW members contribute to these efforts through grassroots networks, online campaigns, mission trips, and generous philanthropy.
NCJW also maintains an office in Jerusalem at Hebrew University.
