Every gift tells a story. Every story fuels a legacy. Across generations, Lions of Judah have stood at the vanguard—putting their values into action and their voices into the world.
Join us for an evening that honors the women who power our community through their generosity, leadership, and vision featuring Wendy Sachs, director, writer and executive producer of the documentary, October 8.
This gathering is a space to reflect, reconnect, and be moved by the powerful journeys that shape who we are and where we’re going. Through interactive moments and bold storytelling, we’ll uplift the truth-tellers, risk-takers, and changemakers who inspire us all.
This is more than a celebration—it’s a call to lead with pride and purpose, and to keep building a vibrant Jewish future.
*This exclusive event is open to Lions of Judah in Greater Washington who contribute $5,000+ or more (as an individual or combined household gift) to Federation’s 2025 Annual Campaign.
