National Council of Jewish Women

The National Council of Jewish Women, established in 1893 by Hannah G. Solomon, sets goals for education and social legislation.  The national priorities are women's issues, children and youth, Israel, constitutional rights, Jewish life, and aging.  NCJW's approach to these concerns is through advocacy, education and community service.

At the state level, NCJW is represented on the boards of Washington Women United; and the Community Relations Council, the Plea for Soviet Jewry.  The Tacoma section, founded in 1919, is involved in community service projects.  Funds are raised to fulfill unmet needs in the community.
