Take Action; Experience Membership Perks; Become Empowered!

Starting with the new Jewish year, NCJW is launching Tzedek Tzedek Tzedof:  Tools for Transformation, a monthly webinar training series on leadership skills.  On the third Wednesday of every month, you can learn how to advance social change through advocacy, organizing and media.

NCJW also offers a series of calls on #CourtsMatter. In September, Bergen County Section members who listened to #CourtsMatter and Reproductive Rights valued the presentation.  The speakers were professional, well-informed and articulate. The next call will be #CourtsMatter and Religious Liberty.

We encourage all members to participate in these free programs.  Here are the steps to take.
