Lions of Judah

The Lions of Judah are a dynamic philanthropic group of Jewish women. They are strong women of all ages, an international sisterhood of thousands of global activists who care deeply about the Jewish future. The Lions of Judah set an exemplary standard of leadership and giving. 

Their role in our community is critical in order to accomplish Hamilton Jewish Federation's strategic priorities:

  • Educating, engaging and strengthening our Jewish community
  • Protecting the vulnerable in Hamilton, Israel and around the world
  • Supporting and advocating for Jewish and Israel issues

At Hamilton Jewish Federation, the threshold annual commitment is $5,000 to our campaign. Some Lions may choose to endow their gift to benefit future generations.
