Celebrating Women

Join us in honoring our very special volunteers who make the work of our agency possible.

SAVE THE DATE  — November 24 at 10am at the JCC Rockland Social Hall, West Nyack, NY

Our Keynote Address  Rachelle Bergstein discusses her new book The Genius of Judy: How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us. Why do Judy Blume’s books continue to inspire and entertain? Regular children with genuine thoughts and problems are the stars. But behind those deceptively simple tales, Blume explored the pillars of the growing women’s rights movement, in which girls and women were entitled to careers, bodily autonomy, fulfilling relationships, and even sexual pleasure. Blume wasn’t trying to be a revolutionary—she just wanted to tell honest stories—but in doing so, she created a cohesive, culture-altering vision of modern adolescence. Books will be available for purchase.

Honoring and remembering our tireless volunteers who truly make everything we do at RJFS possible.

A journal commemorating the event will be assembled and available for all the honorees and guests. Please consider putting your gratitude into words and placing an “ad” to honor our AMAZING HONOREES. Company/Corporate advertising is welcome as well. In addition, the journal is a wonderful way to support our programs and indicate your appreciation even if you are not able to attend in person.
