Before we share our slate of activities for the next year, we'd like to share our gratitude to all in this group for a wonderful year of community building, learning and deepening our understanding of being Jewish in these times. Throughout the year, our events brought hundreds of alumnae together across the globe to celebrate Jewish life on campus and beyond.

If you'd like to continue to stay involved or attend for the first time, consider subscribing to our emails via alum.wellesley.edu.

Thank you!
