Created in 1972 in Miami by Norma Kipnis-Wilson and Toby Friedland (z”l), the Lion of Judah is perhaps the most powerful symbol of today’s Jewish Woman’s strength, a symbol of her caring about the organized Jewish world and a symbol of her financial commitment of at least $5,000.

 

Our goal is to play an essential role in creating social justice, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, preserving human dignity and building Jewish identity.

 

Every women that makes a financial commitment of at least $5,000 is welcome to participate.
