For 70 years, NCJW has worked in partnership with Israel to support advocates, women leaders, and outreach programs. We celebrate Israel’s 70 years of remarkable achievements, the creativity and dynamism of all its people, the importance of Israel as a homeland of the Jewish people and the state of all its citizens, and the leadership of its fearless women.
