Created in 1972 in Miami by Norma Kipnis-Wilson z”l and Toby Friedland z”l, the Lion of Judah program has brought together women of all ages and from many walks of life to play an essential role in creating social justice, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, preserving human dignity, and building Jewish identity.
Lions of Judah make a minimum household gift of $5,000 to Minneapolis Jewish Federation’s annual Community Campaign. Nearly 18,000 women worldwide are Lions of Judah, with over 360 right here in Minneapolis.
Thinking about becoming a lion?
First of all, thank you. The breathtaking generosity of Lions is crucial to building and sustaining Jewish community.
Please reach out to our director of Women’s Philanthropy, Jen Bucklew at jbucklew@jewishminneapolis.org, who would love to sit down for a conversation with you.
