Each year, Jewish Women International proudly honors an extraordinary group of trailblazing Jewish women who are redefining leadership, shaping industries, and lifting up their communities. The 2025 Women to Watch are bold thinkers, changemakers, and visionaries whose work is building a more equitable, compassionate, and empowered future. We are thrilled to introduce this year’s honorees, women you’ll want to know, celebrate, and follow.
Join us in Washington, DC from Sunday December 14th through Monday the 15th, for two meaningful days of connection, conversation, and community. The weekend begins with our signature conference on Sunday, offering dynamic sessions on leadership, impact and so much more. Then, on Monday, we come together for our annual luncheon, where we will honor the 2025 Women to Watch, extraordinary Jewish women making a lasting impact in their communities and beyond.
Attend one or join us for both! Whether you are coming to celebrate, learn, network, or be inspired, reserve your spot today and be part of this unforgettable gathering.
