Women’s Leadership Forum Luncheon

*Photo gallery just added below!*

The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History and Jewish Book Council were thrilled to join together to celebrate inspiring and influential women leaders in the Jewish community and the 100th anniversary of Jewish Book Month, which was started by a Jewish woman.

Chaired by Jane Weitzman, the Women’s Leadership Forum luncheon included VIP tours of The Weitzman, lunch catered by Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook’s Lilah Events, and a program with author Georgia Hunter. Georgia is a historical fiction novelist best known for her debut novel, We Were the Lucky Ones, a New York Times-bestseller that has been published in over 20 languages and adapted for television by Hulu.
