Welcome to Jewish Women of Words
Jewish Women of Words is a space for discussion and reflection about what it means to be a Jewish woman in the increasingly complex world today. It is a community of people interested in anything relevant to Jewish women. It is an inclusive platform for sharing and testing ideas. Whether you are new to writing or practiced at it, we welcome your contributions. Jewish Women of Words is for people from all places and backgrounds. Whatever and however you identify as a Jewish woman, this is a place for you to hang out and explore your world, experiences and beliefs. Learning is an ongoing process, valued by Jewish tradition. This is a space to engage with others who have different experiences and perspectives in a respectful and open way.
