You’re an active Jewish woman

who loves learning, connecting and making an impact.

And now you’re navigating a unique stage.
Schedule changes
Without carpools and big family suppers, your days have less structure
New dynamics

Your new relationships (mother-in-law, grandmother, or mom of adult children) have a new set of rules

Shifted priorities
You don’t relate to the young Mommies on the block, and aren’t swapping birth-stories on the park bench
Unique reality
Your experiences aren’t reflected in the media, and you wonder
Am I invisible?
The house has emptied

There are no more carpools and you want to…

JWOW! helps you achieve those dreams.

Join the JWOW! email community of women sharing how they achieve these goals.

“I still cook and bake, host and babysit. Do my children appreciate the time and effort I’m pouring into them? Do I want to keep catering to them? I love them dearly, but I’m not sure of my role right now.”
“Heard a beautiful thought…”
“In terms of support, this is what has worked for us…”
“Many parents help their adult children for years. I’m wondering how healthy this is in the long run. How do we back out and think about our retirement funds?”
JWOW! has been featured in:

Expansive, empowering and encouraging

“Refreshing to sit among women of the same age and stage... there are common denominators''
“It was refreshing to sit among other women of the same age and stage. We all seem to understand each other.

We're spending our lives raising Torahdig families, pursuing similar goals, enduring similar struggles and challenges.

We look forward to spending the rest of our lives, ad meah v’esrim, continuing to have nachas from our families and growing in avodas Hashem.

We all have wisdom to share, and there's so much we can learn from each other."
Baltimore event attendee
“The networking and connecting with like-minded women is powerful and enjoyable”
“Having a support group for Jewish women of a certain age, who have most of their kids out of the house and have different concerns from younger married women, is crucial.

It’s supportive to connect with women with similar concerns and interests who can engage in conversation about interesting and important topics:

Transitioning careers
Mother-in-law stereotypes
How to be a more effective grandmother

The networking and connecting with like-minded women is powerful and enjoyable.”
Judy Resnick, Bayswater NY
“JWOW!’s insightful events set me thinking, and the socializing is a treat”
“JWOW!’s unique open forum enabling me to speak with people my age, who share the same interests, and goals of making an impact before we go elsewhere are valuable.

At this stage of empty nesting, we need to be stimulated, without being too involved in our children’s lives. We need to nurture ourselves and develop our own meaningful lives.

We’re active and necessary to ourselves and society.

JWOW!’s insightful events set me thinking, and the socializing is a treat.”
Raizel Paperman, Creitel, France
“Supportive and interesting''
JWOW! provides a wonderful support group, a warm camaraderie with women at the same stage of life.

As my children grow older and my home empties, my parenting has to shift and I am learning to relate to adult and married children.

The discussions about how to deal with new issues and dynamics that come along with the stage were supportive and interesting!”
Devorah Klein, Baltimore, MD
“Relationship with women aiming to achieve”
“I love the emails. JWOW!’s event was enlightening. I value the camaraderie it brings.

I enjoyed hearing many different opinions and ideas on the grandparenting stage and how women deal with different issues.

I greatly appreciate JWOW!'s agenda; I particularly value connecting with other women who are seeking to grow and accomplish.
Rebecca Novak, Lawrence, NY

A shared journey: the JWOW! story

Behind the scenes at JWOW!
Jewish Women of Wisdom, known as JWOW! was created to nurture authentically vulnerable dialogue, connection and communication between Jewish women of wisdom.

We share warm friendships and conversations about our unique stage: empty nesting, evolving relationships, work-life and new opportunities, all illuminated by Torah teachings. We set out to create a paradigm for the 21st century midlife Jewish woman.

And we want to expand our conversation to include you.

Join us for authentic sharing, straight talk and acquired wisdom.
