Jewish Long Beach Women’s Philanthropy

Inspired by our tradition of tzedakah (righteousness/charity)

Guided by our tradition of tikkun olam (repairing the world)

We seek to provide significant opportunities for all women to affirm their Jewish identity and spirituality, to be proactive in evolving issues of concern to women, to engage new leaders in our communities, and to inspire other Jewish women by our examples.

We invite you to join us in an environment where every Jewish woman can enrich and strengthen her identity as a woman and a Jew and help make a difference. Be a part of the movement of local Jewish women who are leading by example.

Contact Women's Philanthropy and get involved today! For more information, contact Susan Paletz at (562) 426-7601 ext. 1012.

The Dignity Project

Each month, millions of women and girls suffer the indignity of not having adequate menstrual and hygiene supplies, causing many to miss work and school. We launched the Dignity Project in 2021 to provide local women and girls in need with essential personal and feminine hygiene products so they may live life without interruption. We are currently donating items to LBUSD schools. For more information or to make a donation, please contact Susan Paletz.
