In Little Women, a Christmas morning act of tzedakah and the growth of the March sisters remind us of the strength in living fully — with heart, mind, and purpose.
As we welcome Shabbat, may we carry that sense of wholeness with us.

In Tuscaloosa, access to maternity care is limited and deeply unequal with only 30 OBGYNs for its population of 100,000. And in a city that is 44% Black, none of those providers are Black.

Reproductive freedom is a Jewish value — and what better way to celebrate it than Repro Shabbat?
Here's how it works: On February 13-14, when we read Parshat Mishpatim, Jewish communities across the country will celebrate Shabbat while centering reproductive freedom.

We witnessed pure courage this week as María Corina Machado emerged from months in hiding to receive her Nobel Peace Prize. She often lifts up the power of women and mothers in the fight for peace and freedom — and this Shabbat, we’re inspired by her bravery.

Such a powerful story about what it takes to be a caregiver in these times. Thank you, Senator, for sharing your family's story.
A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.
Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.
I hope you’ll join me.

If Congress lets the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits expire at the end of year, millions of families will lose access to care.
We cannot let this happen. 📣 Tell Congress now: put people over politics and protect health care access for ALL families. ncjw.org/healthcare
