Community, Leadership & Advocacy in a Critical Time

You are warmly invited to an exclusive Ruby Lions gathering in Washington, DC, a thoughtfully curated morning designed for women whose leadership and generosity shape the Jewish future.

This intimate experience will bring together Ruby Lions with Jewish Federations of North America leaders, President and CEO Eric Fingerhut, Chief Jewish Life Officer Sheila Katz, and others for meaningful conversations about how philanthropy drives impact—both locally in Greater Washington and across North America. Together, we will reflect on the unique role Ruby Lions play as part of a powerful national network of women philanthropists.

Enjoy a kosher brunch, peer connection, and insider insights into the work your giving makes possible, locally rooted, nationally influential, and future-focused.

Questions? Becca Ginns
