This year, JWI's Young Women's Impact Networks will come together for one unforgettable night, hosting Shabbat dinners simultaneously across the country. Join the Philly network for an inspiring evening as we combine one of our most meaningful traditions with celebrating International Women's Day.
Here in Philly, we will be hosting two dinners - one in Spring Garden and one in Washington Square West. We'll connect our dinners with a joint Zoom candle lighting and come together for a lovely Shabbat evening.
✨ Event Details:
📅 Friday, March 7th

Together, we will light candles 🕯️, share stories 📖, and create deep connections 🤝 that honor Jewish women's strength, resilience, and achievements.
