JOFA was founded in 1997, following an overwhelming response to the first international conferences, each attended by more than 1,000 women and men. The organization has grown from a small group that gathered around founding President Blu Greenberg’s kitchen table into a professionally staffed, international alliance. For over 20 years, JOFA has provided resources, programming, and advocacy to expand the role of Orthodox women and to uplift the voices of all who are marginalized in the Jewish community.

Please join us on November 11, as we run, walk, and roll (wheelchairs and strollers are welcome!) in this fun, family-friendly, and empowering event. We are piloting this event as a way to build community around JOFA and its supporters, through empowering our runners to take up space and raise awareness for the causes we believe in. By running with us, you will take part in a huge family-friendly event with many other non-profits, meet other Jewish feminists, get exercise while having fun, and hit the ground together to support Jewish Orthodox feminism.

All funds raised will help JOFA continue its mission to expand opportunities for women within the framework of halakha (Jewish law) and to speak out for all who feel marginalized.
