NCJW Greater Dallas

MAZEL TOV!
At the Annual Meeting & Awards, our new president, Kim Schonwald, honored the strong foundation NCJW Dallas women have built over the past 113 years — and shared a bold vision for what comes next.

With deeper local leadership, stronger alignment between advocacy and community impact, and an unwavering commitment to helping women across Greater Dallas thrive, NCJW Dallas is stepping into an exciting new chapter.

At a moment of rising, increasingly violent antisemitism, we need serious, bipartisan solutions that protect Jewish communities while strengthening the democratic institutions and civil rights tools that keep all communities safe.

We welcome the bipartisan Jewish American Security Act introduced by Sen. Jacky Rosen and Senator James Lankford — legislation that would strengthen civil rights enforcement, protect vital security funding, and counter online extremism and hate.
