The quarterly JOFA Journal is a forum for women and men to examine a broad range of subjects from prayer and religious observance to education and advocacy from a contemporary feminist perspective.

Three times a year, JOFA commissions scholarly essays, Vehigadet Levitekh, "And You Shall Tell Your Daughters," which showcase original divrei Torah by leading female scholars.

Our series of halakhic monographs "Back to the Basics"(or Women and Ritual booklets) share the academic insights of community leaders and scholars on core issues of ritual and halakhic practice which affect women in Jewish life.

JOFA's interactive Megillat Esther CD-ROM teaches the te'amim (cantillations) for leyning the megillah. It also provides halakhic sources related to women's reading of Megillat Esther and guidelines for organizing a megillah reading.

The Jewish woman and ritual manuals, called Options & Opportunities contain historical perspectives on ways in which Jewish women have celebrated life cycle events in the past and offers suggestions for meaningful ways to mark these events in our own lives.
