Masa’s Inspiring 12: Jewish Women Working to Make a Difference

Masa marks International Women’s Day by honoring outstanding women contributing to a brighter Jewish future

In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, Masa is proud to release its annual list that recognizes Jewish women who inspire generations through their impactful work. These 12 women have set high standards for future Jewish leaders who aspire to become agents of change. Across continents, industries, and issues, these 12 incredible women have made strides in their fields while bringing communities together amid turbulent times.

Across the various fields in which they lead—from activism to business leadership to community building—women from our Masa community cultivate and foster advocacy and innovation through their respective leadership roles. Masa Israel Journey sees the importance in publicly recognizing these women for playing an instrumental role in sustaining Jewish communal life and contributing to a strong Jewish future while building bridges for the global community.

We have curated this list as a reflection of our values as an organization and as a community, and we know all honorees are in great company alongside the fantastic women who make up this list of Jewish Women Working to Make a Difference.

These leaders have had significant impacts in communities across Israel, North America, Russia, Australia, and other parts of the Jewish world. We salute the achievements of influential Jewish women who exemplify and advance the mission of Masa Israel Journey—to enlighten minds and expand opportunities for all—creating an inspired, connected, and engaged global Jewish community with deep ties to Israel. We invite you to read about their accomplishments below.

Masa Israel Journey is proud to honor these women for the strides they make and the advancements they enable for women everywhere.
