Who We Are

Chochmat Nashim (CHEN) was founded by Torah-observant Jewish women who are working to raise awareness, expose injustice and rectify bad policy in modern day Judaism.
Chochmat Nashim raises awareness of issues plaguing the Jewish community and brings concrete opportunities for social action to affect change.
Real change requires action from many different directions. Much great work is already being done on the legal, political and rabbinic fronts. However, what is sorely lacking is the social awareness to cultivate an environment that is receptive, committed and demanding of these changes. We operate on both fronts: mobilizing social pressure to compel justice from the bottom-up; and implementing forward-thinking policies into communal practice from the top-down.
