Jewish Long Beach Women's Philanthropy
Jewish Values at Work
Looking for a wonderful way to get involved in your community, make new friends and do a mitzvah? Come check out Jewish Long Beach Women's Philanthropy group. Inspired by Jewish values, Women’s Philanthropy broadens and deepens engagement in Jewish life to strengthen Jewish identity, foster dynamic connections with Israel, and care for all Jews in need.
Using our leadership skills and combined talents , we have several ongoing community projects that help our local schools, food banks, and children's programs. Women’s Philanthropy is part of the national Jewish Federations Dignity Project program which provides period products to girls and teens who are not able to afford these items. We package the items at our Dignity wrap events and then they are distributed to local middle and high schools in the greater Long Beach area. Women’s Philanthropy is also involved in global initiatives that help raise funds and awareness for Israel and Jews in need across the globe.
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 in our world. We will be hosting a series of focus groups to help us plan our path for the coming year . If you are interested in taking part in one of these groups, contact Susan Paletz at spaletz@alpertjcc.org or 562.426.7601 ext. 1012.
