On Thursday, March 16 at 7:00 p.m., join the Philadelphia Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), Women's Philanthropy, Women of Vision, Jewish Learning Venture and jkid4all for an important discussion featuring two prominent Jewish women of color — Amy Albertson and Elisheva Rishon.
Together, these women will discuss experiences that they have had as women of color in the Jewish community, why they choose to spend time as influencers on social media, and the challenges that they face as women on and off of social media. The conversation will also focus on Women's History Month generally and the challenges that women are facing across the county.
