Lion of Judah

Named for one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, Lion of Judah Society is a global sisterhood of nearly 20,000 Jewish women from 141 communities, raising over $250 million annually for critical Jewish causes.

Being a Lion of Judah with an annual gift of at least $5,000 to the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh’s Community Campaign is a declaration of your unwavering personal commitment to honor the Jewish values of justice (tzedek) and acts of loving-kindness (gemilut chesed).

Many women choose to wear a Lion of Judah pin to demonstrate their commitment. You may customize your pin to celebrate a Lion of Judah Endowment, an increase in your giving or the number of years you have been a Lion of Judah. For those women who have a pin, we have materials available to assist you in future planning for your pin and your legacy. If you wish to purchase or customize your pin, please contact Emma Renfrew at [email protected] or 412-992-5212.
