Overview
Mission
SVIVAH is a women-designed, women-run, women-centered community dedicated to exploring, designing, and discovering a more nourishing, inspiring, and connected Jewish communal experience for women. SVIVAH launched in December 2018 as a pilot in the greater Washington DC area, with a goal of bringing women together over shared values and shared experiences across communities, while also widening the pipeline to the available resources, services, and programmatic content intended to support our strongest Jewish lives. In its community-building phase, SVIVAH attracted an audience of over 400 women ranging in ages, locations, and affiliations. Organizational partnerships continue to grow as agencies, in partnership with SVIVAH, think creatively about providing valuable content in a women-only context. 4x6Pics-01.png In our first months, SVIVAH offered access to varied female pastoral careg.
