Women's Investment in Community

A Lion of Judah makes a minimum investment of $5,000 in her own name. The Lion pin symbolizes the pinnacle of Jewish women’s philanthropic leadership. Lion of Judah advanced investment levels range from Ruby Lion ($10,000) through Prime Minister’s Council Lion ($100,000+). A Lion of Judah Endowment, created in partnership with the Jewish Community Foundation, can provide a legacy of perpetual support to our community.

The Lion of Judah Endowment, or LOJE, is the endowment component of the Lion of Judah Major Gifts program. A LOJE is created by establishing a fund of $100,000 or more in the investor's name, with the Community Foundation of Jewish Federation, ensuring perpetuation of the Lion of Judah level gift to the Generations Fund. LOJE is a powerful statement of an investor's commitment to tzedakah, providing a legacy for family and community.

A Shomer (guardian) invests $2,500+ in her own name. The Shomer pin symbolizes a woman’s commitment to protect the Jewish people: her family, her community and her world.

A Pomegranate makes a personal investment of $1,800+. It is said that the Pomegranate (one of 7 fruits mentioned in the Bible) contains 613 seeds, the same as the number of mitzvot (commandments). In wearing the distinctive silver Pomegranate pin, a woman shows her commitment to plant and cultivate seeds that will bear fruit in our community for years to come.

A Morasha (heritage) partner makes a personal investment of $1,000+. The Morasha pin - designed as an unfurled Torah scroll, with the skyline of Jerusalem upon it - is a reminder of our heritage and responsibility to perpetuate Jewish life through our investments.

A Trendsetter makes a personal commitment of $500+ in her own name. Trendsetters’ programs, open to all Women’s Philanthropy investors of $500+, provide a forum for Jewish women to socialize and learn from one another, and to interact with distinguished guest speakers.
