How It All Began
Jody Gross met Ruth Davidson in August 2008 at a concert at Deer Valley. They realized that they were going to Israel on the same United Jewish Communities General Assembly trip in November.

Realizing that there are many women who might be interested, Jody and Ruth saw a

very exciting opportunity to create a venue for Jewish women to network and connect with each other through educational, community service and tzedakah through United Jewish Federation.
Twenty Five women attended the first meeting at the home of Sheri and Richard Jaffa, on January 29, 2009. Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, President of the Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, stressed the importance of women to meet together when he presented his topic of “Jewish Women – Breaking Boundaries,” giving examples of Jewish women who created better realities for humanity and the Jewish faith. 

Together with the energetic thought provoking and inspirational professor Jacqueline Osherow, on April 22, 2009, the Jewish Federation Women’s Division gathered for a Lunch and Learn to celebrate Earth Day and the role of women in the first chapter of the Bible at the home of Jody Gross.
