| About Us | ||
The International Region of Women's League for Conservative Judaism was formed in May, 2008 when the New York State Region, the Canadian Seaway Region, and the Montreal Women's League Sisterhoods joined together to support their common goals. Its purpose is to help its member groups succeed by providing training, management seminars, general trouble-shooting and problem solving as well as networking for Sisterhood leaders. Periodic programs seek to instill the religious ideals of Judaism into the lives and homes of its members, emphasizing Jewish ethical teachings as they apply to individual and group life. The Region encourages involvement and participation in contemporary issues on the local, national, and international scene. An active arm of the worldwide Conservative/Masorti Movement with close ties to The JTSA and the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, we support their programs through the Torah Fund Campaign. Women's League provides a complete program of involvement for the modern Jewish woman, her family, and her community. |

| New Book From WLCJ--With Strength and Splendor | ||
The women in this galaxy of remarkable Jewish women each demonstrated determination, courage, and imagination that enabled them to challenge the boundaries of gender and social conventions and to forge newpaths to enrich our world. This project began as Beauty, Brains and Brawn: The New World Balabuste, the Women’s League exhibit commemorating the 350th anniversary of the arrival of Jews in North America. Now expanded to 47 women and with a new title, With Strength and Splendor reflects how Jewish women disassembled old gender roles, shattered boundaries and expanded the options for future generations of women. With Strength and Splendor will make a wonderful gift for adult or teen bat mitzvahs, high school and college graduates, teachers, counselors, friends, and family. Order yours today or buy them at Convention for the pre-publication special price. |
