Join Us for a Unique Passover Experience with Special Guest Speaker Batsheva Gelbtuch, LMSW
We invite women to experience a unique Passover event that celebrates women with wine, music, food, and many rich traditions. This seder is potluck style where each guest brings their favorite Passover dairy or pareve dish and submits a recipe that we will be creating into a cookbook. This is a multi-generational event for ages 13+. Bring your daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend, or mother.
*Proceeds from this event will benefit our ORT Girls in STEM campaign.

Join mother and daughter event co-chair dream team, Genna Kahn and Lori Kahn, for ORT Chicago’s 19th Lunch With a View on Sunday April 28th at Bryn Mawr Country Club.
Come for the laughs, the lunch, the author and the discussion. Bring your girlfriends, daughters, moms, and nieces!
Our 2019 fundraising project is breaking the gender gap in support of Girls and Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). ORT works hard to encourage girls to study, grow and thrive in STEM education.
At ORT Chicago, from generation to generation, we’ve been elevating each other for many decades. Now, it’s as important as it has ever been.
See you on April 28th!
