JEWEL Society

JEWEL Society is for the moms of PJ Library in Greater New Haven!

JEWEL Society was formed in 2023 to encourage support for the activities of PJ Library and engage a new generation of future leaders. “JEWEL” is an acronym for “Jewish Women Emerging Leaders,” selected by the founders to embody the philanthropic endeavor of our valued members who are taking personal responsibility for the continuity of Jewish identity in our community.

With gifts to PJ Library, JEWEL Society members take the lead in ensuring a vibrant Jewish community in Greater New Haven for generations to come. A gift to PJ Library allows us to reach the families of more than 800 children from birth to 8 years old, enriching their lives with Jewish books, local family programming and outreach.

With an annual gift of $118, JEWEL members directly support the ability to serve over 800 local children with PJ Library’s free Jewish books and local programs. JEWEL isn’t just about giving—it’s about growing together. Members are invited to exclusive social events, community-building opportunities, and special moments of celebration. 

“As the new chair of JEWEL Society, I am deeply honored to continue our mission of supporting Jewish women in philanthropic aspirations, encouraging meaningful connections, and strengthening our community through community events and family educational programs such as PJ Library. With a background in counseling, marketing, and Jewish women’s leadership, I am looking forward to fostering connections, building our philanthropic impact, and creating positive change together.” Jodi Williams, JEWEL Society Chair
