Review for JOFA, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with JOFA almost from the beginning because it was the only organization that met the needs of intellectual and bright women in Orthodox Judaism. It was also an excellent source for fightinig the battle to free women whose husbands refuse to give them a "Get". The resources, the contacts, and the intellect of the people involved was a major help for me on the West Coast to connect with like-minded, helpful individuals. There are not too many of those in California.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

arranging and lecturing at a JOFA conference on Premarital AGreements in Los Angeles, and accessing their website and services for clients--I've also helped clients referred to me by members of the Board.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The Jewish education and Talmudic knowledge of the members is astounding--having been unable to obtain such an education through the chasidic and other religious girls' schools I attended, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge from the members.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Fabulous--and very helpful. I could always obtain whatever resource I needed from them

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

make this world a much better place for Orthodox women.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Donor & Donated funds, helped put together and lectured at a JOFA program in Los Angeles on Jewish premarital Agreements to prevent Agunot status for future brides, attended the annual and bi-annual conferences, accessed the help of other members.
