The Women’s Event comes just a few weeks after the The Jewish Federations of North America’s (JFNA) International Lion of Judah Conference in Phoenix, where 1,200 Lions gathered to celebrate the impact of their dynamic sisterhood on Jewish communities worldwide. Founded in Miami in 1972 by Norma Kipnis Wilson, z”l, and Toby Friedland, z”l, to honor a woman’s individual gift of $5,000 or more, the Lion of Judah has grown into an international phenomenon with 18,000 members raising more than $1 billion to date to aid Jews in need. A highlight of the Conference was the presentation of the Kipnis Wilson/Friedland Award to women who embody the spirit and vision of the Lion of Judah program, including Miami’s own Fran Berrin. Berrin again will be honored at The Women’s Event.<
