29 Nissan 5783

Longstanding Federation donor and supporter, Risa Herzog (far right in the image below), shares her thoughts about Shining a Light on Global Antisemitism with Luciana Berger and attending the Women's Philanthropy Luncheon at AB (formally Anzie Blue).

Luciana Berger shared her experiences as a Jewish woman serving in the British Parliament. While a proud Jew, she did not anticipate the anti-Jewish (more clear of a term than antisemitic) sentiment she experienced. Luciana brought home to us here in Nashville, that as proud and caring Jews, we must advocate for what is right. And we must use our voices to stand up against antisemitism and injustices of all kinds. Thanks to Luciana’s timely message, the Jewish Federation’s guests can continue the momentum to reduce antisemitism at home and abroad.

What a treat it was to gather last Sunday at the Jewish Federation’s Women's Philanthropy event with fellow community members including Lions of Judah, Pomegranates, and guests! It was empowering to be amongst so many caring Jewish women and to learn together.

Thank you, Federation!
