Dear JWF Community: 
 
We are thrilled to share the first edition of Articles for Advocates and Allies. In bringing you timely news from around the world, we are especially proud to highlight the efforts of our current and former grantee partners. The pandemic has demonstrated that we can all build momentum on key issues impacting women and girls – even from our own homes. We hope Articles for Advocates and Allies will keep you informed about this vital work, and we invite you to share news with us in the future!

We are thinking of the Project Kesher family in Ukraine and across the Former Soviet Union at this supremely challenging time. We are incredibly proud of our longtime grantee partner which supports women leading meaningful, Jewish lives across the region. As we enter Shabbat, we pray for their continued safety and well-being.

Shabbat Shalom,
Stephanie Victor, Advocacy Committee Chair
Amy Saltzman, Senior Program Officer
