Today we honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice — something #NCJW has worked towards for over 130 years.

Dr. King's legacy reminds us that progress is not passive, but is built through courage, community, and sustained action.

As the trans community faces relentless attacks, we show our love and our solidarity. 🏳️‍⚧️

Today we're uplifting Our Lady J, a groundbreaking writer and musician who led the fight for gender-affirming care in the Writers Guild of America and speaks up for the Jewish community.

Shabbat Shalom!

Did you know that multifaith research conducted in 2024 found that nearly 70% of Americans across faith traditions believe restrictions on reproductive health care violate their religious beliefs?

Mifepristone, one of the medications used in medication abortion and miscarriage management, has been FDA-approved for 25 years. The science is clear: mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential health care.

We were proud to join @keshetlgbtqjews.bsky.social, @ncjw.bsky.social, and partners for a rally outside the Supreme Court as justices heard arguments in two landmark cases about transgender participation in sports. We won't stop fighting for full inclusion and belonging for all transgender people.

Attacks on synagogues must never be accepted as normal. Our hearts are with the Jewish community of Jackson after this act of arson — the same synagogue bombed by the KKK in 1967. We refuse to accept antisemitic violence as the cost of being Jewish. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

This week, we mourn the loss of Eva Schloss, a Holocaust survivor & Anne Frank’s stepsister, who passed on January 3.

As survivor voices fade and antisemitism continues to rise, remembering and sharing her story matters more than ever.

May her memory be for a blessing. Shabbat Shalom. 💙

As we begin a new year, Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein and the mother of science fiction, reminds us that beginnings live in the present moment.

May we embrace today and all of 2026 with the courage and purpose to build stronger communities.

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.

Shabbat Shalom!
