Earlier this month, the Foundation hosted its first-ever luncheon for its Board alumnae, as part of its “Chai Year” celebration of 18 years of grant making. Our dedicated Board members (pictured above, and alumnae, top) are permitted to serve for a maximum of six years–which means we have a powerful collection of alumnae! The luncheon was a great opportunity to renew old friendships and create new ones, all while learning about the current work of the Foundation. A highlight of the gathering was a presentation by Prof. Yifat Bitton, the founder, chairperson, and senior attorney at Tmura – The Israeli Antidiscrimination Center, which fights for the rights of women who have suffered sexual, physical, and economic abuse; she is also a professor at the Striks School of Law at the College of Management in Israel. Prof. Bitton, a former winner of the Foundation’s Bernice S. Tannenbaum Prize, is also a two-time nominee for the Israel’s Supreme Court.
