The Lions of Judah Celebrate 50 Years of Extraordinary Impact

Join us at the International Lion of Judah Conference (ILOJC) – December 11-13, 2022 – the premier gathering of dynamic, philanthropic Jewish women from across the globe. At this year’s ILOJC, our extraordinary sisterhood also celebrates 50 years of building flourishing Jewish communities worldwide – as together, we begin shaping how our Jewish communities can flourish for the next 50. We’ll start with the most critical issues both our domestic and global communities currently face.

Join the Jewish, young adult community for YAD Shabbat Festival of Lights! Our most famous Shabbat of the year!

Ticket ($50 per person) includes dinner, open bar, and entry to the Botanic Gardens Blossoms of Light display.

Ugly Holiday Sweater Attire for the Festival of Lights? You Sweater Believe it! If you don’t have an ugly sweater (or don’t want to wear one), wear what you would to a regular Shabbat. 

An optional, matchmaking pre-event, “Ignite the Spark”, will be hosted by BeShareIt, Denver’s only nonprofit Jewish singles social group with a matchmaking twist. Bring your ugly sweater with you to wear after this pre-event. The goal of this event is to help you grow your singles community and to create matches, one of which may just be your B’shert, There is no awkward seeking out people to talk to, however, there is always time to mingle with someone who may have piqued your interest as well. Please fill out this questionnaire in advance. 

Mitzvah Project: TBD
