CJP Women’s Philanthropy (WP) is a unique outlet for women of all ages to strengthen and shape their connection with the Jewish community and with each other. WP furthers CJP’s mission through various educational, philanthropic and social programming opportunities throughout the year. Led by President Jill Roberts and Campaign Chair Sherri Wolf, WP raises approximately eight percent of CJP’s Annual Campaign. WP honors its donors through three recognition societies: Lion of Judah, Pomegranate Society and Jaffa Society.

Recent Event:

On June 2, Women’s Philanthropy hosted its final event of the year at JCHE’s Coleman House. Co-chaired by Trudy Sonis, Lauri Meizler and Judy Bolton-Fasman, and featuring JCHE’s Barbara Friedman and Generation Incorporated’s Mary Gunn, the WP Closing Celebration garnered nearly 50 women in attendance. Attendees wrote thank you notes to women who made new or recovered gifts to CJP this year, and sewed “Feelie Hearts” for Boston area medical students.
