Golda Club Summit: Mind. Body. Chutzpah.

Presented by Golda Club in partnership with the Miles Nadal JCC, the Summit brings Jewish women together for a meaningful day of inspiration, connection, wellness and community. The day begins inside the Al Green Theatre with Chutzpah Talks, a powerful series of short, personal talks from inspiring Jewish women sharing the moments when their courage, conviction and chutzpah changed them. From there, the Summit will unfold into an afternoon designed to nourish the whole woman, with energizing movement and wellness experiences, a curated vendor market and plenty of time to connect. And because no Golda gathering is complete without feeding our people, GEM Salads will be nourishing us from morning through afternoon with fresh, beautiful food designed to keep us energized, cared for and fully present throughout the day. This is not a traditional business conference. It is a day to step away from the noise, hear stories that move you, meet women who understand you and leave feeling more connected, energized and inspired. Whether you are an entrepreneur, professional, community leader, creative or simply a woman navigating a full and meaningful life, there is a place for you here. Come for the ideas. Stay for the connection. Leave with a little more chutzpah. Chutzpah Talks One shared prompt. Ten minutes each. Personal stories about the moments that changed everything.
