Pioneer women: Jewish and Israeli 5th-8th Grade

Join us for a series of five sessions to celebrate Women’s History Month. We will become closely acquainted with a unique group of Israeli and Jewish women who contributed tremendously to Israel and the world.

From the daughters of Zelophehad, who stood up for what they believed to be unfair treatment and, as a result, changed the law; Golda Meir, an Israeli politician who helped found the State of Israel and later served as its fourth prime minister – the first woman to hold the post; Ada Yonat and her pioneering work, for which she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry – the first Israeli woman Laureate; Ruth Bader Ginsburg who, as a young girl, challenged the notions of what she was “supposed” to do, becoming the first Jewish woman appointed to the US Supreme Court; Gal Gadot, who conquered the world as Wonder Woman, and many more.
