JWA’s Power Couples exhibit featured
San Diego Jewish Journal, December 29, 2015
“New in [the Jewish Women’s Archive’s] online collection is Power Couples, a smart showcase of contemporary Jewish women, paired up with an historic but equally trailblazing counterpart from a different era. The brief biographical essays offer a side-by-side (but uncompetitive) comparison of each woman’s accomplishments. The list makes it clear that we’re all standing on the shoulders of giants, and with 32 women on the list, you’re bound to learn about someone you’ve never heard of.”

The Power of Jewish Women Social Entrepreneurs
eJewish Philanthropy, November 6, 2015
Judith Rosenbaum and Joy Sisisky announce a new collection of women social entrepreneurs on jwa.org. “These women are change-makers who are bringing a gender lens to the greatest issues of our time – from poverty to the environment – and spurring the world, including the international body of the United Nations, to solve them. Furthermore, while their backgrounds vary wildly by affiliation, age and geography, they are all inspired by their Jewish values.”

Judith, Alternate Action Hero
Hadassah Magazine, October/November 2015
Judith Rosenbaum reflects on the real hero of the Hanukkah story: “When I am seeking alternative insights into Jewish tradition, I often turn to the inspirational stories of women—and Hanukka offers a juicy one.”

Leadership Lessons for the New Year
eJewish Philanthropy, September 6, 2015
Judith Rosenbaum reflects on what she’s learned from her first year as executive director of JWA: “As I look back over the past year and devise my plan for the new one, I am inspired by the call for teshuvah, tefillah, and tzedakah. In the context of leadership, I’ve adapted these three elements to mean reflection, a leap of faith, and generosity–key traits I am committing to bring into my workplace culture in 5776.”

JWA Teams with ConverJent to Launch “Jewish Time Jump”
Sight Line, the Journal of the Covenant Foundation, February 14, 2015
“At JWA, history is an essential part of any contemporary Jewish communal story, and whenever JWA sees an opportunity to make connections and find partners willing to weave the historical piece into what they’re doing, the endeavor becomes a fruitful opportunity for everyone involved. 'We’re all working towards the same goals and visions for the Jewish community,' [Judith Rosenbaum] says. 'A partnership like this is mutually supportive, and strengthens all of our work.'”

Looking for My Gloria Steinem or Bella Abzug
The Jewish Daily Forward, January 23, 2015
The Jewish Women’s Archive has a new online exhibit called “Power Couples” in which it has paired notable women from the past with outstanding women from today who work in the same field. There’s Nora Ephron and Lena Dunham, Dr. Ruth Westheimer and Jaclyn Friedman, and Hedy Lamarr and Mayim Bialik. Through doing so, JWA offers young women not just a chance to see what is possible, but also the opportunity to see individual achievements as part of a larger story, and one in which they could take part.”

Reflecting Brookline's Jewish Culture
Massrealty.com, January 2015
“Another Jewish organization making waves in the Greater Boston community (and all across the States) is the Jewish Women's Archive, a national non-profit devoted to making known the stories, struggles, and achievements of Jewish women in North America and beyond.”

Nora Ephron + Lena Dunham = Love
Jewniverse, December 9, 2014
“The Jewish Women’s Archive Power Couples series matches members of the older generation with their successors in the new. Comedy writer-directors Nora Ephron (z”l) and Lena Dunham. Scientist/screen stars Hedy Lamarr and Mayim Bialik. Combining biography, history, and analysis, these side-by-side comparisons produce real insight and feel apropos in what the Forward 50 posited was 'the year of the Jewish woman.'”

The Jewish Women's Archive Redefines The “Sandwich Generation”
The Jewish Week, November 17, 2014
Judith Rosenbaum writes: “From my perch, as both a relatively recent arrival to my 40s and newly ascended to a professional leadership position as the executive director of the Jewish Women’s Archive (JWA), I’ve been thinking about how to reframe this in-between, sandwiched generational place.”

Teacher honored for going 'beyond the text'
New Jersey Jewish News, August 7, 2013
“When it comes to making lessons come alive, Judith Sandman likes to go beyond the books. Most text books, she said, ignore many of the people she wants her students to learn about — Jewish women. So the Springfield resident — who teaches at Temple Emanu-El, the Reform synagogue in Westfield, and Temple Beth Ahm Yisrael, the Conservative synagogue in Springfield — turned to the national nonprofit Jewish Women’s Archive.”

As Women's History Month kicks off, Jewish leaders from across the religious spectrum weigh in on the role of women
Baltimore Jewish Times, February 28, 2013
“Jewish women have been feminists as far back as Biblical times, when women such as Tamar challenged the double standard by which her father-in-law Judah lived, or women like Miriam claimed her place as a leader alongside Moses and Aaron. Our foundational story, which we will soon once again recall at Passover Seders, is about human liberation. How could Jewish women not be feminists?”

Teaching Social Justice Through a Jewish Lens
Covenant In Action, February 13, 2013
“Nearly 50 years after such iconic events as Freedom Summer and the Selma marches helped define and advance the Civil Rights Movement, some Jewish educators are moving to teach it through a decidedly Jewish lens.”

[JWA's] “Living the Legacy helps us teach students, in a very tangible and relatable way, that there are issues of fairness that exist today, and that they have an obligation as Jews to do something about them. And I have full confidence that they will honor that legacy,” one educator said.

Seeing, Thinking, and Wondering
Covenant in Action, December, 12, 2012
“Nearly 30 Jewish educators from across the country gathered at a Jewish Women’s Archive retreat just before the start of the current academic year to dive into the new Living the Legacy curriculum and explore ways to maximize its use. Claire Solomon, Program Associate at The Covenant Foundation, was there, and shared some insights.”

Digital Stewardship at JWA
digitalstewardshipatthejwa.wordpress.com, April 2012
Students taking a course in Digital Stewardship at the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science were tasked with an investigation of a digital collection and its management. "With a focus on descriptions of content, source material, legal issues, utility and possible options for sustainability, we decided that the Jewish Women’s Archive is an ideal digital repository for our investigation."

Seeing Beauty in "Making Trouble"
The Forward's Sisterhood blog, March 21, 2012

"Thanks to the Jewish Women’s Archive... we now have records of all of this good-bad behavior, the type of behavior that puts heat in my blood, and keeps so many of us hungry for justice."

Tweeting the Encyclopedia of Jewish Women
The Forward's Sisterhood blog, May 9, 2011.
"Although they were asked to commit to tweeting just one article a week, many of the partners have immediately embraced the project and have been tweeting multiple articles a day. Three days into the effort, 58 articles had already been tweeted — and retweeted many times over."

"Abusch-Magder, who suggested the project idea to JWA, sees this as an experiment in harnessing the power of social media to let people transmit and translate historical information in their own way and to their own networks. 'Scholars are not going to make history popular, but something like this will,' the rabbi said."

Learn about the Jewish women you don't know (and some you do) with JWA's online Encyclopedia
JewishBoston.com, May 4, 2011.
"A variety of influential Twitter users, individuals, organizations, rabbis and more, have volunteered to help tweet the Encyclopedia of Jewish Women using the hashtag #jwapedia ... I started by choosing subjects that were of interest to me, close to what I normally tweet about, that would also intrigue my followers to learn more about someone."

Tweeting the Encyclopedia
The Jewish Week, May 4, 2011.
"One national Jewish organization is now looking to release an entire encyclopedia via Twitter. If you think that sending out the content from an encyclopedia in less than 140 characters at a time might take a long time... well, you're correct. The Jewish Women's Archive has begun to tweet The Jewish Women's Encyclopedia. The Twitter feed can be followed at #jwapedia."

Selected Media Mentions, 2010

Living the Complicated, Enduring Legacy
Jewschool, November 29, 2010.
"Living the Legacy is full of challenging and vulnerable pieces which make the process of unpacking the Jewish past in the Civil Rights movement a fascinating project. It’s well worth taking a spin through the primary sources on the website, even if you don’t consider yourself to be an educator."

Jewish Women's Archive launches cutting edge Living the Legacy Civil Rights curriculum
Jerusalem Post, November 22, 2010.
"Living the Legacy tells the stories of women – and men – whose actions were perhaps not in the center, and shows portraits of sometimes unnamed women acting out of their own commitment of conscience despite prevailing ideologies. It thus sets the record straight once and for all and lets students know that women are out there, working and doing and changing the world, and have been out there all along, whether or not men took notice."

“Living the Legacy” through the Jewish Women’s Archive
fromtherib?, November 8, 2010.
"I guess what I like best about “Living the Legacy” is that even after attending a Jewish school for 13 years, I’ve never really spent time studying specifically Jewish and black relations, so this is a topic that I can honestly say I’d be interested in learning about."

New Curriculum Highlights Work of Jewish, Female Civil Rights Activists
The Forward's Sisterhood Blog, November 4, 2010.

A recent post explores women wearing kippahs (the small, round head covering s more often seen on Jewish men). Another analyzes similarities between a quinceanera and a bat mitzvah. The writers don't shy from revealing their feminist, progressive views, and they invite readers to share opinions on controversial topics including the HPV vaccine, same-sex marriage and "mommy wars."

"EAST VILLAGE MAMELE: Funny Ladies"
The Forward, March 25, 2005 by Marjorie Ingall
"So I had an evening out, for the first time since Maxine's birth. I attended "So Laugh a Little," an evening of Jewish women's comedy benefiting the Jewish Women's Archive (jwa.org), an organization that supports research, fosters chick-power activism, and creates curricula about American Jewish women in history and today. ...Some of that diversity is showcased in Joan Micklin Silver's forthcoming documentary, "Only Faster," clips of which were screened at the benefit. It profiles six legendary Jewish comedians: Sophie Tucker, Fanny Brice, Molly Picon, Judy Holliday, Madeline Kahn and Gilda Radner."

So Laugh A Little

"If girls don't have role models, they can't begin to imagine the possibilities for themselves. And while there are role models, there are not enough, in my mind, in the Jewish community. I also believe that if boys and girls learn about what women have, and are, contributing to the Jewish community that ... stereotyping ... will stop. It's all about building respect and raising awareness."

"Their accomplishment are grand, their stories largely untold: A Nobel Prize-winning scientist. An Olympic gold medal track star. A labor reform and civil rights activists. A participant in the creation of Israel. They are all Jewish women, and thus month, as the 350th anniversary of Jews' arrival in America is commemorated across the country, their stories will be part of the celebration, thanks in part to the Brookline-based Jewish Women's Archive."

As it integrates women of increasingly diverse backgrounds and pioneers new ways to study Jewish women using the Web, all of its audiences will benefit."
