2012 ANNUAL REPORT

The Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project

“Inspire a woman, you inspire a family.

Inspire enough families, you inspire a community.

Inspire enough communities,

and you can change the world.”

Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project Annual Report 2012 I 1

To our Supporters and Partners:

As you will see in this exciting annual report, The Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project had an incredible year of breakthroughs and growth; and has begun 2013 with tremendous momentum and plans for even more. Of course, there have also been challenges, but even those were met with a spirit of opportunity. One of the most exciting results of the success of the JWRP is that, with our message, help and guidance, several new organizations have been formed in cities where there were no existing initiatives for women. Examples include: the brand new Indy Jewish Experience (Indianapolis), Eim Chai (Boston), Norfolk, VA (in partnership with their Federation), The Jewish Women’s Initiative (L.A.), Aish’s Chayil (Cleveland) and JInspire (Tri-State: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut). We just hosted our First Annual JWRP Leadership Conference in the Washington, D.C. area, which was sold out with 75 women attending from four countries. Featured speakers included Edana Desatnick, Executive Coach for Fortune 500 companies (and a JWRP TAG ’10 participant), who helped empower the women with real tools and structure to succeed in their local leadership projects. Seeing our past participants and partners take their inspiration to the next level of responsibility and leadership was truly inspiring. If you recall, just 48 hours before our November TAG ’12 group was to arrive, Israel was on the brink of war, featured dramatically on headlines around the world. Our team, both in Israel and abroad, sprung into action, gathering vital information to make a safe and informed decision. Based on what was discovered, our Executive Board decided to move forward with the scheduled November and December trips. Although they were under a lot of personal pressure from family and friends to cancel, out of 400 women scheduled to come, only 92 cancelled. The rest experienced not only a safe trip (we increased security out of precaution), but also the most inspirational of our four years. These became “Solidarity with Israel” missions and were tremendously successful on all fronts. Growth for 2013 includes increasing the number of women from 900 to 1200 (1200 spots were sold out in 10 days, with a waiting list of hundreds), and putting our new innovative follow-up initiative, “Family to Family” into action. All this and more await you in this exciting report that clearly shows our project has truly turned into a movement. In deep gratitude for your support and partnership; we could not do it without you.

Taking Back Jewish Values

“Thank you for your devotion to the Jewish people.

Without this trip I am not sure I would have EVER been

able to come. Your generosity has provided me with

the opportunity to deepen my relationship with God

and Israel.”

— Pat W. TAG ‘12

Join Jewish women, from all over the world, for the journey of a lifetime to reawaken the

passion and commitment that have been the legacy of the Jewish people for the last

4,000 years.

The Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project (JWRP) was established in 2008 with the purpose of

empowering Jewish women to change the world. Our mission is to create a Jewish women’s

movement that inspires a renaissance of positive Jewish values that transforms ourselves,

our families and our communities.

Our highly subsidized TAG (Transform and Grow) missions to Israel offer women a special gift— a nine-

day, action-packed experience that informs and inspires through living and learning Jewish values.

Women travel together, grow as a group and continue their journey back to their communities as sisters,

after having shared this significant educational and experiential gift. They now share a common vision

of family values, community responsibility, and personal development to reach their potential as Jewish

women, wives, mothers and leaders. To date, the JWRP has brought over 2,500 women from 60 cities and

12 countries. In 2013, we plan to bring 1,200 more women from around the world. We have a waiting list

of 270 women.

PURPOSE: To empower Jewish women

to change the world

MISSION: To create a Jewish women’s

movement that inspires a renaissance of positive values that transform ourselves, our families and our communities

VISION: To create a safe, responsible and

compassionate world


The Utah 8

In February 2008, eight Jewish women came together from all walks of life and traveled to Utah for a

four-day retreat. The group consisted of married, single, older, younger, observant and non-observant

women, and all agreed the values of the world were spiraling out of control. The result is the

deterioration of family, community and the very fabric of the Jewish people.

They had one mission: to create a movement that brings values back to the world.

And, just as Jewish women were the leadership of the feminist movement in the 1970’s that created real

social change, so too, Jewish women must be the leaders in a new social movement based on Jewish values.

Thus, the Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project (JWRP) was born.

Since the summer of 2009, over 2,500 women have connected to their Judaism on these high-impact trips. 2013 sold out in 10 days with 1,200 women set to participate.

Over the past 4 years, we partnered with over 88 organizations from 12 countries.

JWRP participants are active in recruiting, raising money, organizing events/speakers

and are engaged in their Jewish communities, most for the very first time. Seventy-five women from four countries

attended our first annual JWRP Leadership Conference in the Washington, DC area, empowering them with tools

to transform their home communities.

Post-Trip Survey from our 2012 Trips

A survey is given to all the participants on the last day of

the mission. This survey collects results on every trip,

class, speaker and venue that women experienced during

the trip. This information helps us continue to fine-tune our

program. At the end of the survey, we asked how the trip

has impacted them and the results are…

How the Trip Has Impacted Me One Year Later

An online survey was sent out to all 2011 participants* in the

winter of 2012 to see how they are doing. We asked the

women: “Since going on the JWRP TAG trip, how has your

life been impacted?” “I am a 2011 Chicago JWRP woman whose daughter is in

Israel now, in college and volunteering. She would not be

there if it wasn’t for my experience through JWRP and CTN.

For that I am forever grateful, this is life-changing for her.”

In negotiation with other Federation cities

When local Federations partner with the

JWRP, their women visit their sister city/

project in Israel for one afternoon/evening.

They see first-hand the work of their local Federation.

The results from our one year later survey of women

who went to Israel with JWRP have shown:

› 34.8% of the women went to their Federation

Partnership City on the trip

› Of those who went to their partnership city,

63.1% of them had never had a connection to

their local Federation

› 23.5% subsequently increased their volunteerism

with their local Federation

› 37.3% increased their attendance at local

Federation events

› 39.2% increased their financial support of

their local Federation

Making it all happen

How We Reach Our Target Market

› Women apply online through the JWRP website, www.jwrp.org

› Each woman must complete a personal interview with the organizational

leader to determine if they qualify for the trip. Some of the attributes we are

looking for include:

• Has children at home (90% of women accepted must have children at home under

the age of 18. Impact the women; impact the children.)

• Has leadership potential

• Lives in a city with an outreach organization to ensure follow-up

• Can travel well in a group situation, both physically and emotionally

• Not presently Shomer Shabbat


“Guess what! I am at Harova Seminary in

The Old City and it is amazing but something

especially incredible that happened last

night is that I found out that one of the girls

here is here because her mother was inspired

on an Atlanta JWRP trip 2 years ago! I am so

proud of the Utah 8 and the JWRP!”

— Brielle Mayberg, daughter of

“This experience is so necessary for all Jewish women.

There is so much we don’t even know that we don’t know.”

— Sharon L. TAG ‘12


Trip Staffing

To handle both the growing number of participants, while increasing our impact, we have designed a new staff structure for every trip:

› Bus Leader: Is personable and organized, on the mic, giving instructions, setting the tone for the trip, encouraging women

to come up and share their thoughts and feelings, leading the women in song, etc…

› City Leader: For every 10 women sent from a city, they must also send a leader, usually a Rebbetzin and/or Lay Leader.

She is the one who bonds with her women, answers their questions, and is there for counsel. She also will lead the follow-up

upon return.

› Madricha: Women cannot return the next year as a participant, but they can return as a madricha (leader) if they join the

Madricha Track once they are back in their cities. To qualify as a madricha, a woman must learn weekly, one-on-one, and

show she has taken responsibility in her community (recruiting, fundraising, volunteering, etc…).

› Madrichim: Every bus is staffed with one young man who shleps, packs and trouble-shoots for us (fixing phones, bringing

women for first aid, if needed, etc…).

Follow-Up Success

The success of the trips is dependent upon the effectiveness of the follow-up.

We carefully partner with organizations who have the staff to implement

ongoing programming that will capitalize on the excitement and desire to

grow, that every woman has upon her return.

Requirements:

› A reunion within 30 days of return, the date which is set before

they even depart on the trip.

› A written follow-up plan they submit to the JWRP.

› Submission of quarterly reports on what events and classes they had,

and how many of the women attended.

› Participation on monthly City Leader conference calls to share their

challenges and successes; getting help and ideas from one another.

› Posting and accessing our brand new “Partner Website and Forum.”

› Partners in Torah — Every participant now has the opportunity to pursue

their desire to study one-on-one, either in person or on the phone.

› Family to Family — A new JWRP follow-up program being developed in Cleveland

and Toronto, which will engage lay families as mentors to our JWRP families.

All of this is overseen by our Director of Leadership, Ruth Baars.

Encounter: If We Could Only Meet

On Tisha B’Av, July 28, 2012 (the 9th of Av), we mourn the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash (The Temple). We are taught that

it was destroyed because of sinat chinam (baseless hatred). Jews were divided and in conflict with one another. To rectify this,

on Tisha B’Av, the JWRP brought together 200 observant women from communities in the greater Jerusalem area, with

the 200 JWRP women for an incredible evening where they met, connected and learned what it means to love your

fellow Jew.

JWRP Solidarity Mission

Just 48 hours before our November group was set to arrive, Israel was poised to enter Gaza for Operation Pillar of

Defense. It was the dramatic headlines all over the world.You can imagine how much pressure the women were under

by friends and family to cancel their trip. The JWRP waived any cancellation fee and respected whatever decision they

made. Out of 400 women scheduled to come in November and December, only 92 cancelled. The result was a JWRP

Solidarity Mission that was one of the most inspirational trips to date.

“I was so proud to stand for Israel at

the rally today in Los Angeles, CA. The

outpouring of support is tremendous.

Thank you for your strength and courage

to actually stand IN Israel in her time of

need. I am with you in spirit.”

— Karina Salem Gordon, TAG ‘11 participant

First Annual JWRP Leadership Conference

At the beginning of January, 2013, 75 women from four different

countries came to the Washington, D.C. area to learn how to take

their inspiration to the next level of leadership and responsibility.

Featured speakers included: Edana Desatnik, Fortune 500 Executive Coach,

and TAG ’10 alum; Dov Ber Cohen of Israel on Self-Discovery and Empower-

ment; Dr. Erica Brown, author and international speaker on Jewish leadership

and many more. Each city group of City Leaders, Madrichot and participants,

learned about maximizing their organization’s impact in their city — everything

from harnessing the power of Facebook, to fundraising, to public speaking.

The highlight was when Pamela Claman, founder of Thank Israeli Soldiers,

received the JWRP Leadership Award named for her.

“The conference brought back such good memories of

our experiences together (TAG ‘12). It had the energy

and spirit of our time in Israel. We strengthened our

leadership skills, developed action plans and concluded

with ‘Hava Nagilia’ around the indoor pool!

Every detail was thought of and the content was as

good as any Fortune 500 event I’ve attended. The

conference gave me an understanding of the magnitude

and importance of the vision of JWRP. So grateful to

be on this journey with each of you.”

Why Invest in the JWRP?

› Partners and Unity: The JWRP is bringing existing outreach organizations together at a time when unity is more important

than ever, providing a powerful, effective, high-level program that most organizations could not afford to create or execute.

We are all working together for the same goal, and together we can accomplish so much more.

› Save on Future Funding: Impact the mothers now, and you won’t have to spend money to reach out to their kids on college

campuses in 10 years.

› Real Results Now: Women, their families and their communities are inspired when they return. The support model is there

to help the women continue their journey, embrace and connect to their Jewish values.

› High Return on Investment: When you impact a woman, you impact an entire family, in this generation, as well as

future generations.

› Ongoing Follow-Up: Because women can only come from existing, active and effective outreach cities who have invested

in their trip to Israel, the follow-up is immediate and ongoing. Local city leaders and educators travel with them to Israel,

bonding and forming deep relationships. Cities also know that results of careful monitoring of the follow-up on a national

level will be a measure of their ability to bring women in the future.

› Increase Impact of Existing Investments: Return on the investment of outreach organizations can be dramatically

increased when you have immediate results through the women. Women create the spiritual direction of the home,

and women create community. Women will “fast forward” existing outreach operations.
