The mission of the Jewish Women’s Archive
is to uncover, chronicle, and transmit the
rich history of American Jewish women.
FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR
I am delighted to introduce the Jewish Women’s Archive Annual Report for Fiscal
Year 2008, which acknowledges the many generous donors whose contributions have
made our work possible, and highlights JWA’s activities between October 1, 2007, and
September 30, 2008.
As you will see, the Archive’s programs and resources are more vital than ever. The
educators who attended our Summer Institute, the young people in our internship
program, the elders who shared their stories of life during World War II, the people who
contributed their memories of women they admired to We Remember, the bloggers who
made Jewesses with Attitude such a lively online forum—all of these people and more
enjoyed and enriched the Jewish Women’s Archive this year. And then there were the
tens of thousands of people all over the world who visited our website to explore the rich
legacy of American Jewish women.
In FY08, JWA reached new audiences with Making Trouble, our award-winning
documentary about six pioneering Jewish women in comedy. The film’s premise—that
the struggles and successes of these women paved the way for later generations of
comedians and entertainers—underscores JWA’s mission of drawing on the stories of our
predecessors for insight and inspiration. Playing to sold-out crowds at film festivals all
over the country, Making Trouble has become a bold calling card for the Jewish Women’s
Archive.
In a year that saw sweeping change at the national level, JWA’s mission took on new
relevance: the lessons of history can inform the present and change the future. We are
grateful to the individuals and institutions listed in this report, whose support affirms this
mission and enables the Jewish Women’s Archive to uncover, chronicle and transmit the
inspiring stories and accomplishments of American Jewish women.

CONNECTING GENERATIONS
Making Trouble
After its successful premiere at the prestigious Silverdocs Film
Festival in June 2007, Making Trouble drew consistently sold-out
houses and was a major focus of the Jewish Women’s Archive’s
activities throughout 2008. Produced by JWA Productions,
recognized Making Trouble with
awards: it won Special Mention
in the Jewish Experience
Category at the Jerusalem
Film Festival, and it won Best
Documentary and Audience
Award at the Palm Beach Jewish
Film Festival.
Recognizing that the film is an
entrée to the Jewish Women’s
Archive for new audiences,
JWA enhanced the Making
Trouble website (http://www.
makingtrouble.com/). Linked to
jwa.org, the site has new features
that reinforce Making Trouble’s
association with the Jewish
Women’s Archive and introduce
audiences to JWA’s many
resources.
the 85-minute film focuses on the lives and accomplishments
of six funny Jewish women entertainers, and is hosted by
four contemporary comedians discussing the legacy of their
comedian-foremothers
and the impact of these earlier
women on their own work. The documentary was screened
more than 80 times in FY08, including at film festivals across
the country, both Jewish and non-Jewish. These included highprofile Jewish film festivals in San Francisco, Boston, Miami,
Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, and Seattle; and prestigious
general film festivals in Santa Fe, Woodstock, NY, and Sarasota.
The film was seen internationally in Jerusalem, Stockholm, Sao
Paulo, Vancouver, and Toronto.
Lively panel discussions and question-and-answer periods with
JWA staff and some of the scholars and comedians featured
in the film followed many of the screenings. Two festivals

New Collection: american jewish women and World War II Project
In FY08, the Jewish Women’s
Archive began collecting materials
for American Jewish Women and
WWII, an effort to preserve the
legacy of American Jewish women
who lived through World War II.
JWA developed and distributed
10,000 copies of “10 Questions,” a
guide to help people capture their
own story or the story of a woman
in their family or community and
to upload it to the Jewish Women’s
Archive website. The response
to “10 Questions” was immediate
and enthusiastic—before the year
was out it went into its second
printing—demonstrating that
Jewish Women and WWII tapped
into a strong desire to capture
stories from this era.

INSPIRING CHANGE
JWA AT THE DIGITAL
FOREFRONT
In June 2008, the Charles H.
Revson Foundation awarded
one of the first Lisa Goldberg
Technology and Internet
Initiative Awards to the Jewish
Women’s Archive for Unlocking
the Archive, a project that will
enable users to create their own
multimedia, digital features using
content from jwa.org and other
sites on the Internet. Named
in honor of Lisa Goldberg,
longtime director of the Revson
Foundation and former member
of the JWA Board, the grant
provides partial funding for
development of a tool that
“unlocks” the treasure trove of
material on the JWA website so
that students and teachers can
“re-purpose” it to meet their own
needs. For example, teachers can
use it to customize lesson plans,
while students create homework
assignments, independent
projects, and interactive
presentations. By facilitating
user-generated content and
increasing interactivity, this
project continues the Jewish
Women’s Archive’s tradition of
making innovative use of digital
technology. JWA was pleased
to receive additional funding for
the project from Diane Wohl,
a member of the Board of
Directors.
EDUCATING EDUCATORS
“Your worksh op was
th e best organized
worksh op I’ve been
to. It also had th e
most intelligent
speakers, th e most
useful information
and kept us
engaged th rough to
th e end...”
The Jewish Women’s Archive
held its second Institute
for Educators in Brookline,
Massachusetts, from July
13–17, 2008. Chosen from
more than 90 applicants, the 24
participants came from a wide
range of professional settings
(congregational education,
supplementary schools, day
schools, adult education, and
universities) and travelled from
places as diverse as Kentucky
and California, Nebraska, and
New Jersey. Generous funding
from the Dorot Foundation
covered each participant’s
2008 Institute participant
expenses and provided a small
stipend.
The Institute featured workshops investigating themes in Jewish
women’s history, examining primary source documents and
oral histories, exploring multimedia resources, and developing
strategies for using the material with students. The program included
Participants in The 2008 Institute for Educators: (l. to r.) Jess Alper of San Francisco, CA; Jane
Grise of Lexington, KY; and Alan Rosenberg of Providence, RI.

seminars led by scholars,
experiential workshops, and
in-depth sessions focused on
JWA’s online resources. Each
participant planned a series of
lessons that she/he is using
this year to integrate Jewish
women’s stories into her/his
teaching. Following the Institute,
participants have shared the
materials and methods learned at
the Institute with their colleagues
and communities at home, and
remain connected with one
another and with the Jewish
Women’s Archive through a
private community website

JWA’s Impact in the
Classroom
Now in its fourth year, Go & Learn
puts curriculum modules with
primary documents related to
Jewish women’s history on
jwa.org and guides educators in
how to use them. In FY08, JWA
developed three new modules:
“Tefillin Barbie: Considering
Gender and Ritual Garb,” “A Young
American Jew in Israel, 1947-48,”
and “‘We Have Found You Wanting’:
Labor Activism and Communal
Responsibility,” which, together,
have been downloaded more
than 2,000 times. Overall, lesson
plans from the 13 editions of Go
& Learn were downloaded more
than 20,000 times from September
2005 through the end of FY08, an
increase of almost 50% in the last
year alone.
“I th ink “Go
& Learn” is
an absolutely
fantastic initiative.
I h ope you
continu e to pu blish
it FO R E V ER.”
Sur vey Resp;ondent
An outside evaluator completed an
assessment of the third year of the
Go & Learn program. Respondents
praised the richness of primary
sources, the usefulness of lesson
plans for different ages, and the
adaptability of the materials. All
respondents who had used Go &
Learn reported that they plan to
use it again and would recommend
it to a colleague. The survey also
revealed that Go & Learn is an
important gateway to the Jewish
Women’s Archive, bringing
new people to the website and
introducing them to other JWA
resources.

jwa internships
Committed to providing mentoring
and professional development in
Jewish studies, women’s studies,
and archival management, JWA
hosted three summer interns in
2008: Emily Pratt, a Jewish Studies
major at Smith College from
Montgomery, NJ; Hilarie Meyers,
a junior history concentrator at
Brown from Hudson, NY; and
Maya Shwayder, a psychology
major at Harvard from Farmington,
MI.
“My tim e at th e
Jewish Wom en’s
Arch ive opened up
ideas of wh ere I
want to go in my
life. “

Emily Pratt, summ er intern
Like interns before them,
they emerged with a stronger
commitment to their Jewish
identity and a deeper
understanding of both the practice
and the findings of gendersensitive history. Among the many
projects they worked on, the
interns made the first podcasts
for the Jewish Women’s Archive
website and participated in the
Institute for Educators. In their
evaluations of the experience, all
three interns were grateful for the
chance to witness the Archive’s
“influence in the real world” and
to see concrete evidence of how
JWA’s resources benefit teachers
and students all over the country.

PRESERVING LEGACIES
We Remember
Lead funding from Linda Morse
enabled JWA to expand its online
collection of reminiscences of
recently deceased American
Jewish Women from 27 to
44. These reflections on the
lives and accomplishments of
American Jewish women who
lived in the 20th century and
died in the 21st tell the stories
of women from many walks of
life—from civil rights leader to
prize winning poet, from Yoga

Polish-born Ruby Blue, who was
anointed a swami at the age of
86, lit Sabbath candles in her
apartment every Friday night? To
further enhance this increasingly
popular collection on jwa.org, in
August 2008, JWA created the
first podcast in a new series;
this podcast accompanies a We
Remember piece about Shirley
Bridge, a Seattle activist whose
oral history is in JWA’s collection.
In fall 2007, the Jewish Women’s
Archive undertook a major project to digitize the 280 oral history
interviews that are a centerpiece
of the Archive’s collection. These
oral histories include interviews
from Women Whose Lives Span
the Century, Weaving Women’s
Words, Women Who Dared,
and Katrina’s Jewish Voices, as
well as individual oral history
interviews JWA has conducted
over the past 10 years. Digitizing
these valuable resources is not
only critical for their long-term
preservation, but will also enable
JWA to make them fully accessible and available to all on its
website.

FINDING INSIGHT
Blogging with Attitude
JWA’s blog, Jewesses with
Attitude, is a forum for young
Jewish women to explore a
variety of subjects, including
feminism, politics, sexuality,
religious pluralism, ritual, and pop
culture. In FY08, it established
a unique and respected voice
in the blogosphere, generating
relevant, provocative content
about a wide variety of
stimulating topics of particular
interest to Jewish women. One
of the most frequently viewed
and popular parts of the JWA
website, the blog continued to
grow in readership in FY08 and
was recognized by Blogger.com
as a Top 10 blog in the category
of “religion and culture.” It
receives on average more than
7,000 unique visitors per month,
which translates into an average
of more than 20,500 page
views. Jewesses With Attitude
was frequently referenced and
linked in more than 50 blogs and
websites, including major Jewish
blogs—Jewschool, JVoices,
JSpot, MyJewishLearning,
Jewess, the Jewish Service
Online Network (a project of the
Schusterman Foundation)—and
was mentioned in a variety of
online publications including
Nextbook, The Wichita Eagle, the
Dallas Morning News, the Seattle
Times, and The News & Observer.
com. Jordan Namerow, Online
Communications Specialist and
one of JWA’s primary bloggers,
was a presenter at the United
Jewish Communities 2007
General Assembly in Nashville,
TN, discussing what blogging
offers Jewish women in terms
of Jewish identity and feminist
expression, and how Jewesses
With Attitude has maximized
possibilities for user participation,
openness, and interactivity on the
Web.
JWA in the News
The Jewish Women’s Archive, its people and its programs, received
considerable media coverage in FY08. Executive Director and
JWA founder Gail Reimer was the subject of a full-length article in
Hadassah Magazine in February 2008. In December 2007, JWA was
cited for “doing cutting-edge work” in a front-page article in The
Boston Globe on the shift in the philanthropic behavior of young
Jewish donors. Also in December, JWA was featured in an article
about the J.A.P. stereotype in Bitch Magazine. JWA’s blog, Jewesses
With Attitude, was featured in an article on Nextbook called “The Rise
and Fall—And Rise—of ‘Jewess’” (5/14/2008) by Daniel Krieger, which
was re-published by many Jewish print publications including the
Jewish Standard.

Making Trouble was featured in such national magazines as Lilith,
Moment, and Hadassah, as well as several national newspapers,
including the Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, and Atlanta JournalSentinel. Radio and television coverage of the film included interviews
with Gail Reimer, the film’s director Rachel Talbot, Project Director
Lauren Antler, and some of the contemporary comedians featured
in the film. The film also received substantial coverage (and sparked 11
lively conversation) in the Jewish blogosphere.
