Federation’s Organizations Assembly Honors Valley Women for Making A Difference Within the Community

The Jewish Federation recently honored 27 women at the annual Organizations Assembly, an event of The Jewish Federation Valley Alliance Women’s Department that serves to honor outstanding women who have made a difference in the Jewish community.

Each year, The Jewish Federation pays collective tribute to an exemplary group of women who are singled out for their social-action and philanthropic contributions to the Jewish community. Their contributions are made as individuals through various Jewish organizations, sisterhoods, synagogues, day ad religious schools and Jewish preschools.

More than 25 organizations were represented at this year’s Organization’s Assembly, held this year on September 18 at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills. Collectively, these efforts help fulfill the life-saving work of the Federation and help perpetuate a strengthened Jewish community. This year’s honorees, a distinguished and self-less collection of women, have each made a significant impact toward improving the lives of others.

At the event, guests learned about the Federation’s KOREH L.A. literacy program and PJ Library, a new monthly Jewish book gifting program for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years, thanks to the generosity of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and donors of The Jewish Federation Valley Alliance.
