Event Details

Lobbying Clinic

NCJW UT, in January, participates with the Community Action Partnership (CAP) in its Democracy Day on the Hill. That day, we hear from speakers, learn how to lobby, eat lunch with legislators and, with docents, tour the Capitol. While we lunch, participants talk with legislators about issues and upcoming bills consistent with NCJW principles.



NCJW Day on Capitol Hill Page

NCJW UT participates with CORC (Coalition of Religious Communities) in a lobbying day at the Capitol.


Ski Day
A favorite social event, join fellow members on the slopes for a fun day.

Contact Annabel Sheinberg.



Passover Seder
Each year, our local NCJW section partners with the Jewish Community Center to enable local seniors to connect with their Jewish roots and enjoy Passover foods and traditions.

View our past seders in the photo gallery.

Contact Carla Cantor for more information.



Race for the Cure
NCJW Utah Section partners with the Susan G. Komen Foundation in SLC to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. Usually, we have an event at Sugarhouse Park around Mother's Day, on the Sunday following SLC's Race for the Cure.

View our past races in the photo gallery.


Officer Election

We hold nominations and elections for the board every two years, in June. We encourage members to become board members.


Hiking Outing

We wish to start a hiking club. However, until we have a facilitator for this, we will have monthly hikes June through October. Want to hike or walk in our beautiful area? Contact Rochelle Kaplan for more info or to offer suggestions and help.

Our annual membership brunch features panelists on a theme. Past years have featured local Jewish women artists and scientists, women in local politics, and directors of local environmental conservation groups. For more info, contact Karen Gladstone.
