The Lion of Judah was adopted by Keren Hayesod’s International Women’s Division as a symbol of the courage, strength, and impact of Jewish women, who are motivated by a sense of duty to the Jewish state and the Jewish community.  The Lion of Judah pin – a specially designed gold brooch – recognizes the efforts of prominent women who have distinguished themselves through their deep commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. It represents a proud sisterhood of leadership and strength, a standard of excellence and achievement for women who have advanced into new spheres of giving as they achieve greater economic success.
