The Lion of Judah was founded over 40 years ago. Today we’re over 17,500 women strong. A valuable resource for the global Jewish community, we’re instrumental in building Jewish identity and aiding Jews in need worldwide. Each Lion fulfills a financial commitment to the Jewish Nevada Annual Campaign. Additionally, many of us establish a Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) to perpetuate our Lion of Judah gift and ensure the Jewish future.

Our combined energy, compassion, commitment and financial strength give us a powerful voice. And we’re using it to repair the world!

The Lion of Judah is a national program that recognizes those women who make a gift of $5,000 or more to the Jewish Nevada Annual Campaign. Each year we host a special luncheon for Lions in our community to thank them for their generous support and to share a meal with some of the community’s top philanthropists. 

Lions are recognized by wearing a very special Lion of Judah Pin. Every year that a woman maintains or increases her generous gift to the Jewish Nevada Campaign for Jewish Needs, the pin is updated at no extra charge with the addition of a diamond, thanks to the generosity of Michael E. Minden Diamond Jewelers.
