History
Founded in 1997, following an overwhelming response to the first of what has become seven (7) major international conferences (each attended by over 1,000 women and men), JOFA grew from a small group that met around Blu Greenberg's (Founding President) kitchen table to become a professionally staffed, international alliance. It is a tax exempt, nonprofit organization, boasts a membership of over 5,500 individuals and has garnered the support of noted scholars, leaders, activists, and philanthropic grantors in the Jewish and feminist worlds. Its Board members hail from all parts of the United States and its members are active in Israel, England, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, South Africa, Hong Kong, Holland, Germany, Australia, and other countries.

Our Logo
Evoking Miriam's tambourine and the waters of her well, our logo celebrates Jewish women's leadership. The waves emerging from the logo remind us of our dedication to Torah, often compared to water, and illustrate our commitment to continually moving forward while remaining connected to our past.
