Mission Statement:The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action.

Through education, community service, advocacy and collaboration, we work to address the needs of all peoples and faiths within our community. Our advocacy efforts aim to correct the root causes of the social problems we encounter. We dare to have a vision about what is possible. NCJW built its national legacy by stepping forward and speaking out on crucial issues years before others followed its courageous example. The national organization has offices in New York and Washington D.C. Members and supporters across the country work together to support reproductive rights, individual and civil liberties, separation of religion and state, and the well-being of women, children, and families.

In Israel, NCJW’s pioneering programs foster and support education, promote empowerment of women, and provide for Israel’s most vulnerable women, children, and families.
