Women's Rights Social Justice Group

Group Chair:  Samantha Schoenbaum                                    Clergy Liaison: Rabbi Lydia Medwin

With half of The Temple's membership female and a time where Women's Rights are at stake, The Women's Rights small group is a critical emphasis area for the Rothschild Institute.  We have identified three core objectives for the coming year:  Equality, Women's Health & Reproductive Rights and Advocacy.

We will focus on three main events that create a sense of purpose in the community and at The Temple: 

 1) We will organize a hands-on volunteer effort for our Temple members to help a local Atlanta women's organization.

 2) We will design and host an educational program with components of Advocacy training to raise awareness of issues facing Jewish women.

3) We will inspire our Temple community to connect as a synagogue to understand and discuss the issues facing women and the opportunities we have to take action.
