The Jewish Women's Archive (JWA) is a global organization devoted to collecting and promoting the extraordinary stories of Jewish women and gender-expansive people. JWA explores the past as a framework for understanding the issues important to women today; inspires young people with remarkable role models; and uses Jewish women's stories to excite people to see themselves as agents of change. Today, JWA is the world's largest collection of information on Jewish women. Each year, millions of people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, from more than 230 countries, engage with and rely on JWA's resources. JWA hosts public programs; trains the thought leaders of tomorrow through the Rising Voices Fellowship and the Pomegranate Fellowship; sparks conversation with its blog, podcast, and social media presence; and is a leading voice in feminist and Jewish spheres.
