Women have been at the heart of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation since the very beginning — and we’re proud to carry that legacy forward. We’re a group of volunteers who understand how vital strong Jewish communities are—and we step up to help keep them thriving. Guided by the values of tzedakah and tikkun olam, we show up. We volunteer, we give, and we build meaningful connections across generations. And we welcome you to join us!

With a household gift of $365—or a dollar a day—to MJF’s annual Community Campaign, Pearl Society members are a group of inspiring Jewish women who want to see our community thrive. Pearl Society members are invited to the denim and pearl annual Women of Intention Award ceremony and proudly wear the signature Minneapolis Pearl Society necklace, designed by Goldfine Jewelry. Please contact Jen Bucklew at jbucklew@jewishminneapolis.org to learn more.
These are women in our Jewish community who respond to injustice with intention—who apply their personal grit and gifts to some of the most difficult issues facing our community and the world.

Lions of Judah are some of the most dynamic philanthropic women in the world. Created in 1972 in Miami by Norma Kipnis-Wilson 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.
The Lion of Judah is a symbol of a Jewish woman’s strength, a symbol of her caring about the organized Jewish world, and a symbol of her financial commitment of at least $5,000 to MJF’s annual Community Campaign. Nearly 18,000 women worldwide are Lions of Judah, with hundreds right here in Minneapolis.
