About Us
PROJECT W is dedicated to empowering and inspiring Jewish women of all backgrounds through a deeper connection to Israel. The ultimate goal is for participants of the program to gain a greater appreciation of our 4,000 year-old history with a desire to pass on more knowledge, understanding, passion and tradition from generation to generation.
PROJECT W provides a platform through a series of special events culminating into a trip to Israel to learn more about where we have come from and where we are today, with the focus on connecting New York Jewish women with their counterparts in Israel. This program offers a 360º view of some of the most innovative and accomplished women ranging from government, media, business, art, technology, medicine and literature.
