Founded in 1983, the members who make up the Austin Section of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) have been and continue to be strong advocates for improving the quality of life for women, children and families—both in the US and in Israel—and safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.

Please take a moment to look over our informative new website. We believe you will find these characteristics in our work here in Austin and the work that is done on a national level:

We are compassionate. Our value as human beings is measured by how we treat the weakest among us, not the strongest.

We are courageous. History has shown that we are unafraid to do the right thing and fight the good fight.

And we are powerful. As individuals and a group, we are a positive force for change.

B’Shalom,
The Board of the Austin Section of NCJW
