PCJL: Jewish Woman’s Resource Center
The Jewish Woman’s Resource Center aims to connect and support Jewish Women at the University of Pennsylvania. Our goal is provide women with the resource that will help them to learn how to integrate Jewish values and traditions into their pursuit of a career. The Center will foster a bond among female Jewish students, faculty, and alumni at Penn through conferences, workshops, and mentorships, as well as networking sessions via events designed to introduce participants to female business leaders and role models across the country.
PCJL Board of Directors Member, Boris Kalandar proposed this project as a means to connect the thousands of Jewish Women from across the country that converge each semester on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Mr. Kalandar envisions The Jewish Woman’s Resource Center as a place where Jewish women become empowered academically and spiritually as they make career choices and connect with their Jewish heritage. He is dedicating the center to the blessed memory of his daughter, Miriam Masha Dexter, z”l.
