Take the Anita Zucker Lion of Judah Challenge!
Anita Zucker, CEO and Board Chair of the InterTech Group, Business Leader, and Philanthropist put into place a three-year challenge for the women in our community to encourage them to make leadership gifts and become a Lions of Judah.

Making a leadership gift at the Lion of Judah level makes a huge impact for our Jewish community locally, in Israel, and around the world.
