The JWRP is now Momentum

Ten years ago, we set out to inspire women to change the world through Jewish values. And in the past 10 years, we’ve reached thousands of hearts, touched many lives, and empowered individuals all over the globe. Together, we have inspired a transformation that has impacted mothers, fathers, families, and communities.    

And we’re not stopping there.

Your transformation has motivated us to rethink, relook and rebrand. Something that’s more us. More you. More me. More mom, more men.

We are thrilled to reveal our organization’s new name: Momentum – Where Jewish Comes to Life

Our new name highlights the people who we impact — the MOM and the MEN. At its center, the “ME” reminds us of Rabbi Hillel’s vital question, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” Momentum’s new look captures our essence. It embodies how far we have come and points to where we are headed. We chose handcrafted script to honor the unique value of every person and to invite the warmth and joy that living values can bring.

Our color has deepened and matured.

Our lettering shows movement, wisdom, energy, and consistency.

With our new space, direction, and name, we are launching a brand new website that has more for everyone. More Unity More Wisdom More Networking More Learning More Events More Living More Life We are excited to release original videos, podcasts, and article series that tackle and explore real-life issues that Jewish mothers face every day – from mental health to family drama and from confronting self-doubt to practicing mindfulness. Media will be available in four languages: English, Hebrew, Russian, and Spanish. During our 10th year anniversary, we have so many wonderful new initiatives in the works.

We look forward to sharing them with you as we continue our journey together.

THIS WEBSITE WAS CREATED IN LOVING MEMORY OF RITA KRAKOWER MARGOLIS
