Women's Philanthropy
Women's Philanthropy is an embracing arm of the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor. We create programs for women as a way to outreach, engage, network, educate, fundraise and build Jewish community.
It inspires women to devote their time and financial resources to the needs of Jews locally, globally and in Israel.
For over 50 years, Ann Arbor Jewish women have worked together to preserve and enrich our community's Jewish culture and heritage
We celebrate our traditions, explore our history and educate our community.
Our myriad efforts have a profound impact on the future of the Jewish community not only here in Ann Arbor, but in Israel and around the globe.
We invite you to join us in an environment where every Jewish woman can enrich and strengthen her identity as a woman and a Jew and help make a difference in our world.
At a time when apathy and assimilation threaten us, we invite you to join the thousands of Jewish women who are leading by example.

POMEGRANATE: A SYMBOL OF JUDAIC STRENGTH
One of the seven fruits named in the Bible, the rimon (pomegranate) is said to contain 613 seeds, one for each of the mitzvot (commandments) found in the Torah. This ancient symbol was carved in the entranceways of the earliest synagogues, woven into fabrics and hammered into silver and gold. The intricate covers for the handles of the Torah scrolls are called rimonim (pomegranates).
THE ADDED BENEFIT OF BEING A POMEGRANATE
Each woman making an $1,800 annual commitment may purchase the beautiful sterling silver pin. By wearing this symbol, we are reminded of the Jewish lives we have improved, rescued and renewed. But, even more, it reminds us of the work that is yet to be done.
