Jewish Professional Women 


Jewish Professional Women (JPW) launched in 2024 in response to the growing number of Jewish women looking for more than just another networking group. JPW is where your professional, personal, and philanthropic worlds intersect, offering a space to build authentic relationships, grow your career, and connect with a community rooted in shared values. 

What makes JPW unique is the “J.” Our Jewish identity adds purpose and meaning to every interaction, turning networking into something deeper. Through thoughtfully curated events, inspiring speakers, and opportunities to make a tangible impact, JPW brings together driven women who are ready to lead, give back, and grow together. 

By being part of JPW, you’re not only investing in your own journey; you’re supporting the work of Jewish Federation Los Angeles and helping to strengthen our community for generations to come. We look forward to welcoming you to our next event.  

JPW includes: 

  • Access to 2025 JPW events — A vibrant community of 100+ women of all ages at each event 
  • Exclusive networking opportunities with industry leaders/professionals across Legal, Entertainment, Marketing, Tech, Real Estate, Finance, Health, Education, Nonprofit, and more 
  • JPW LinkedIn Community 

JPW Donors who give a minimum of $500 to JFEDLA’s Annual Campaign: 

Your generosity keeps this vibrant network thriving and helps strengthen the Jewish community that connects us all. 

  • All of the above plus: 
  • Exclusive event(s) for donors at this giving level of $500+ 
  • Discounted ticket price for all JPW events 
  • Access to all JFEDLA events for donors at this giving level (e.g. SWWP’s Pritzker Series and JFEDLA’s Professional Networks)

Your gift can be paid annually, monthly ($42 per month), or quarterly ($125 per quarter). Your gift is 100% tax deductible. These gifts contribute to programs within JFEDLA that combat hate and antisemitism, care for Jews in need, and ensure the Jewish future. We could not do this work without your support. 

The energy at the event was incredible. I discovered the amazing work being done by the Federation, which inspired me to apply for a job — and I ended up getting it!”

“The Messy Middle” with Shelley Zalis, CEO and Founder of The Female Quotient, in conversation with Laurel Mintz, General Partner of Fabric VC,  covered why there is a drop-off in women climbing the corporate ladder.  

“Networking Reimagined: Create Meaningful Connections with Antonia Lassar” blended laughter, vulnerability, and practical tips on how to turn casual conversations into meaningful, career-boosting connections.
