The Work We Do In Israel

NCJW Women and Gender Studies Program and Women Studies Forum at Tel Aviv University

The NCJW Women and Gender Studies Program at Tel Aviv University officially opened on October 21, 2001 and became the first bachelor's degree-granting program of its kind in the Middle East.  Using an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and research, the program stresses critical analysis of the role of women and other minorities in institutions of all kinds, public and private.  The National Council of Jewish Women endowment provides for the degree-granting program and its complement, the NCJW Women Studies Forum, a voluntary group of faculty advancing research and analysis while offering courses, public conferences and community service.

Yad B’ Yad  

NCJW's Initiative to Nurture Knowledge is a grant program supporting grassroots organizations serving at-risk children and their families in Israel. Launched in 1998, the Yad B'Yad program has funded hundreds of grants since its inception, providing multi-lingual books, computer equipment, and other educational materials to foster positive and innovative learning environments for individuals of all backgrounds.
