Empowering Jewish Women
Women’s Philanthropy contributes nearly 20% to our Federation’s Annual Community Campaign, highlighting the collective power of women. Whether it is a gift of $18 or $5,000, Women’s Philanthropy helps transform our Jewish community, here in Ann Arbor, in Israel, and around the world.
Pomegranate
According to the Midrash, each pomegranate contains 613 seeds, one for each of the commandments found in the Torah, and is a symbol for Jewish life and commitment. The Pomegranate Society recognizes a woman’s annual gift of $1,800 or more to the Annual Community Campaign.
Lion of Judah
The Lion of Judah is a symbol of a Jewish woman’s strength and her dedication to the Jewish world. The Lion of Judah Society recognizes a woman’s annual gift of $5,000 or more to the Annual Community Campaign.
