Jewish Orthodox Feminist

The Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance (JOFA) is dedicated to enhancing the religious, spiritual, and communal roles of women in Orthodox Judaism. Founded in 1997, JOFA strives to empower women by advocating for their meaningful participation in religious life, including family dynamics and synagogue activities, all within the parameters of halakhah (Jewish law). The organization offers various resources, such as educational materials, webinars, and guidance on enhancing women's roles in ritual practices. By addressing significant halakhic issues related to marriage and divorce, JOFA fosters gender equality and revitalizes the Orthodox community. Through its initiatives, JOFA supports women’s Torah study and leadership opportunities, helping to navigate the complex interplay of faith and modernity.
