Change-makers & Community Shapers: An update on Jewish Long Beach Women’s Philanthropy

Susan Paletz | Director of Fund & Community Development

Leadership Through Tzedakah

Jewish Long Beach Women’s Philanthropy brings women together as a community to practice tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (justice) rachamim (compassion) and chessed (loving kindness). We provide opportunities for women to learn new skills and helping women of all ages and career stages translate their values into actions. We invite you to join us in an environment where every Jewish woman can enrich and strengthen her identity as a woman and a Jew and help make a difference. Be a part of the movement of local Jewish women who are leading by example.

Honoring Lions & Pomegranates

We are so pleased to welcome Iris Kraemer, Chair of Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) National Women's Philanthropy, to Long Beach on Sunday, Sept 22, to introduce her to our empowering network of women. Kraemer will speak at the Lion & Pomegranate Thank You Brunch event and update us on current philanthropic trends and endeavors from Jewish Federations of North America. Lions and Pomegranates should look for an email invitation with more information.

Celebrate Sukkot

We welcome all women in our community to perform the mitzvah of dining in the Sukkah on Tuesday, Oct 22 at the Alpert JCC. We will share a beautiful vegetarian dinner, holiday desserts, wine, and the company of old and new friends under the palms of our sukkah.

To get involved in Women’s Philanthropy, contact Susan Paletz at spaletz@alpertjcc.org or (562) 426-7601 ext. 1012.
