The JOFA Journal features works by female scholars, writers and artists who explore a different theme in each issue.  Past Journals have explored Women in the Arts, Death and Mourning, Wedding Practices and Shabbat.

Three times a year, JOFA commissions scholarly essays, Shema Bekolah  "Hear Her Voice," which showcase original divrei Torah by leading female scholars.

Ta Shma: Come and Learn is an easily accessible halakhic source guide series by female scholars Rahel Berkovits and Devorah Zlochower.

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 Orthodox Jewish Woman and Ritual, 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.
