WOMEN’S PHILANTHROPY
Now, more than ever, the strength and unity of the Lion of Judah community are essential. In these challenging times, the power of our collective voice can make a profound impact. Each of us carries the responsibility to uplift, support, and inspire those around us. When we come together as Lions, we are more than just donors—we are a powerful force for change, a beacon of hope, and a symbol of resilience. Your annual commitment as a Lion of Judah goes far beyond financial support. It ensures that we continue to care for the most vulnerable among us, providing critical resources to those in need. But today, an equally important pillar of our mission is combating the rising tide of antisemitism and ensuring the safety and security of our community. We are also excited to share that the International Lion of Judah Conference is taking place in Atlanta from January 12–14, 2025. This gathering will be a powerful opportunity for us to unite with fellow Lions from around the world, share our stories, strengthen our bonds, and deepen our impact. We encourage you to attend and experience the inspiration and energy that come from being part of this incredible movement. Additionally, we are thrilled to announce that we have begun planning the 40th anniversary celebration of the Lion of Judah in Montreal. This milestone event will be a momentous occasion to honour our history, celebrate our
achievements, and look forward to the future with renewed commitment and passion. By standing together, we not only address the immediate needs of our people but also safeguard our future. Your unwavering dedication helps us build a strong, vibrant, and secure Jewish community for generations to come. The world needs our leadership, our compassion, and our commitment. Together, we can continue to build a brighter future for our community and beyond. Let us stand united, proud, and strong, knowing that our contributions are making a lasting difference. Thank you for being a Lion of Judah. With gratitude and determination, Orly Fayer | Tova Garber Co-Chairs, Lion of Judah
