JEWL: Jewish Executive Women's Leadership
This competitive program empowers an elite cohort of female Jewish graduate students, alumni, and young professionals--together with top female Jewish executives, attorneys and nonprofit leaders--through mentorship, leadership training, education, and community service. In this way we will help close the gender gap in lay leadership in the Jewish community and cultivate the next generation of Jewish women executives, lay leaders, and philanthropists.

Participants meet for eight sessions featuring unparalleled access to an exclusive set of Jewish female leaders from both the executive and nonprofit worlds.

Session Topics:
  • Where Leadership, Judaism and Psychology Meet
  • The Power of the Feminine
  • Lead from Within: Your Personal Mission Statement
  • The Trajectory Toward Self-Mastery
  • Decision Making and Growth Through Adversity
  • Key Traits of Jewish Leadership

The program includes group-building activities and exclusive social events with female mentors. Each participant will also embark on a community service volunteering project with the Jewish philanthropic organization of their choice, actualizing the lessons learned during JEWL into concrete impact.

Jewish Executive Women's Leadership is a proud winner of the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles' Cutting Edge Grant.

Understanding Your Rights: How Title VI Protects Jewish Students on Campus

December 2, 2025 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT

This FREE online session is designed to help students clearly understand their rights under federal civil rights law and what colleges and universities must do to ensure a safe, non-discriminatory learning environment.

Led by Sara Colb, ADL’s Director of Advocacy, this training will walk through:

  • What kinds of conduct qualify as prohibited discrimination, including different treatment, harassment, and retaliation.
  • Which students are protected under Title VI, including those targeted for their Jewish and Israeli identities.
  • How a hostile environment is legally defined and the signs students should look for.
  • What schools are required to do once they know about a hostile environment, including when incidents involve protected speech.
  • Real examples of compliance challenges and how they were addressed.

A live Q&A will follow, giving students the opportunity to ask questions about their rights, reporting pathways, and what effective institutional responses should look like.
