This exhibit is dedicated to the women of Israel who have rescued, uplifted, inspired, sanctified, defended, advocated, and comforted us over the past two years of the Swords of Iron War. The exhibit lives here online, and travels the world, to show the extraordinary contributions of Jewish women and the ways we can all be heroes. Our goal is to bring this exhibit to communities everywhere, inspiring generations and ensuring these stories are never forgotten. Contact us to bring it to your community.
