THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP

Play Video

Momentum’s Partner Organizations are an essential and critical part of the work we do – together.

When an organization partners with Momentum, it ignites Jewish life in its community. With the MOMentum Yearlong Journey as the ultimate engagement tool, our Partner Organizations grow their network, drive their mission forward, and infuse incredible new energy into their Jewish community. Together, we deliver impactful programming and empower new local Jewish leaders – and, in turn, inspire them to further build and expand our reach.

We are stronger together.

“I wanted to reach out ahead of Shabbat to thank you for encouraging me to keep going with Momentum. This week, the experience brought me to Israel with a group of women from Florida’s Gulf Coast. The time following our meeting at the south Florida retreat has been a period of healing and renewal for me. I can see that this journey – and now these days in Israel – will open me to a new stage of life. For that, I am truly grateful! I wish you and your family all the best. Shabbat Shalom!”

— Letitia Stein- St. Petersburg, FL

CULTIVATING LEADERS

Momentum Grand

Momentum Grand is an exclusive, transformational, spiritual, and uplifting journey for women looking to invest in themselves and help us continue to build the Momentum movement. It is an opportunity to forge a sisterhood with accomplished, philanthropic women from all over the globe while learning together with dynamic, world-class educators and experiencing Israel in an entirely new way.

For the first time, this year’s trip began where the story of the Jewish people did: in the desert. Participants had the opportunity to stargaze under a spectacular sky, ride Jeeps in the Ramon Crater, and indulge in a lavish Mediterranean feast in a traditional tent. From there, it only got better, with unique experiences such as a dancing tour through the streets of Tel Aviv, an exclusive boat ride on the Dead Sea, and a meeting with First Lady of Israel Michal Herzog at her home. Each day of the trip was filled with uplifting, transformational wisdom from Momentum’s Director of Experience and Engagement Adrienne Gold Davis.

“The Momentum Grand trip was exceptional. The itinerary details were attributable to women planners for sure! From meeting Michal Hertzog in person to sitting in Peres’s personal study, then experiencing a private tour of Tel Nof, to a gourmet lunch in the Negev, to dancing through the streets of Tel Aviv … to … to….I’d hit repeat again. Lee and Janine, my daughters, were so right when they said: ‘Mom just do it!’, and I did it! My bucket is now filled with tools to navigate our complex world as moms/individuals.”

Areivut – mutual responsibility
Shalom bayit – peace in the home

Momentum in Aspen

In July, 30 Momentum community members arrived in Aspen, Colorado, ready to rejuvenate their spirits, engage every sense, and soak up meaningful Jewish values – and they wasted no time getting started.

Against the striking rugged backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, they greeted each day with morning meditation and yoga. Our hosts for the weekend, Chabad JCC of Aspen, welcomed us to their high-elevation hometown with open arms, and their stunning sanctuary provided the perfect space for learning and reflection. Illuminating sessions like “The Ladder Approach to Elevation”, “How to Temper Your Temper”, and “The Poetry of Choice” broadened their horizons and deepened their love of Jewish life. An event open to the community featured a panel discussion with Momentum Board Member Debbie Hochberg, philanthropist Louis Mayberg, and Director of William Davidson Foundation Karen Davidson on investing in values as our most valuable investment.
