OUR MISSION
To foster a community of women through programs that educate, inform, and enhance its members’ intellectual and spiritual lives, while kindling bonds of friendship. This mission is accomplished within the framework of the values of Reconstructionism and the infrastructure of University Synagogue.
The Women’s Connection donates its program revenues to the synagogue for various projects, such as dues scholarships for women called “Women Helping Women,” synagogue enhancement projects, Tikkun Olam, and High Holy Days musicians.
