MMC FELLOWSHIP
Intensive training for women at the center of Jewish communal life.
Over 2.5-year training women whom others routinely turn to as communal pillars build the skills, Torah framework, and peer relationships to guide others and sustain that work across a career.
COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE
Global networks for Orthodox women serving in the same field.
14+ global networks connecting women who serve in specific areas of Jewish communal life. Members learn from leading voices in their field and from each other, deepening both their knowledge and their capacity to sustain the work.
FIELD INITIATIVES
Addressing communal needs worldwide.
Each MMC participant completes an annual practicum with the purpose of bringing her and her community forward. These initiatives identify and address communal needs from local Jewish infrastructure to communal spiritual development and beyond.
CONFERENCES
In-person gatherings for women across Core’s global community.
Core conferences build community, crosspollinate between regions and expertise, and help move fields forward.
Women sustain our communities.
We sustain them.
Women sustaining Jewish communal life need more than goodwill and dedication; they need training, support, mentorship, and connections with colleagues. Core helps women see their gifts, develop them, and deliver them to their communities, fostering more resilience, connection, and strength for the Jewish People and the world.

“…Core has given me new tools for my toolbox, and introduced me to tools I never knew existed… My thinking has been expanded, as have my listening skills. Both have given me agency to do and be more, and are constantly being implemented.
…Through Core I have gained a greater comprehensive understanding of l’halaos Ner. It involves how to focus in ways that bring out the best in others by creating space for them to flourish, especially as it relates to strengthening other Jewish women.”

“Now, if I’m stuck and need advice, I have an arsenal of women to turn to, whose experiences can inform my work. Similarly, I can be there for them, sharing the knowledge and learning I’ve gained.”
