Featuring Pamela S. Nadell

Join us to celebrate the completion of our 18th year of strategic grant-making on behalf of women and girls. The Miriam Fund welcomes Pamela S. Nadell, Chair of the Women’s and Gender History Department and Director of the Jewish Studies Program at American University in Washington, D.C. She will speak on the role Jewish American women played in the early days of the women’s movement and how they influenced Israel’s own work toward gender equality.

Dinner will be served. Dietary laws will be observed.

This is a free event, but your RSVP is requested by Friday, May 25.
