I invite you to be partners in success with our endeavors for Jewish women in Eretz Yisrael and in Jewish communities around the world.
Lifework’s Endeavors include The Writer’s Journey Seminars (three times a year); The Annual Writer’s Journal; The Writers’ Journal On-Line Magazine (three times year); The Writer’s Club (twice a month); On-Line Writing Mentoring Service for writers working in the magazine and book publishing (8 week courses).
Every dollar donated supports this spectrum of writing and life-enhancing initiatives for Jewish women, which in turn touch the lives of thousands upon thousands of women and their families in a positive, giving way.

I just arrived home from our fifth annual Writer’s Journey Seminar; a one-day event of nine workshops attended by 140 women keen to enter, or already working in the field of magazine and book publishing. This endeavor helps a women on her journey of life as well as her writer’s journey; it helps uplift her self-esteem, it inspires her to tap into her true potential as a Jewish woman by teaching her how to give to others through her gift of language; it helps her to earn a livelihood for her family; it encourages her to use her writing to form a closer relationship with Hashem, her family, her community and women the world over; it helps her to be a giver of her time, her talents and her ideas to inspire other Jewish women and in turn strengthen the Jewish family and Klal Yisroel. On this day also we release the annual Writer’s Journal; a showcase of Jewish women’s writings from 85 writers from around the world. I checked my emails; here are some goodwill letters from seminar participants, seminar workshop leaders or Writer’s Journal readers; the first flow that usually includes hundreds upon hundreds of letters over the year.
