The Jewish Woman Entrepreneur (JWE) announces its 2014 Business Conference. The conference will take place on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel in Parsippany, NJ. The full-day event brings together Torah observant women business owners, non-profit leaders, and professionals from across North America. The conference aims to provide women with the knowledge and skills necessary to advance their businesses, while creating a supportive network of likeminded women who are dealing with similar challenges. This is an opportunity to learn, network, and collaborate. The conference addresses crucial business topics and promotes parnassah opportunities for women—all within a Torah atmosphere that is supportive of their values.
Attendees will participate in industry-specific networking, have access to investors, and hear from dynamic speakers with proven entrepreneurial and professional success. Featured speakers include: Tamar Rosenthal and Dana Rubenstein, founders of Dapple—a leading manufacturer of green cleaning products; Sarah Lipman, CTO of Power2B and inventor of Power2B’s touchscreen technology; Sasha Salama, CNN newscaster and media trainer; and Dr. Cheryl Wakslak, from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. Last year’s keynote, Talia Mashiach, founder and product architect of Eved—the market leader in Event Commerce, will be returning by popular demand.
Last year’s event drew 300 women from 13 states. This year, The JWE is expecting more than 600 women. Tamara Blunda, a past participant and founder of her own business, Raliaz, noted: “To learn from frum women who have achieved tremendous financial success, while juggling large families, and maintaining a Torah lifestyle, was validating and inspiring. They exist! And, if they can do it, I can too.” Chaya Ruchi Gross, CEO of Dynamic Kitchen and Bath Interiors, a custom cabinetry design firm, also attended the conference and is currently a city leader of The JWE Monsey chapter. Says Chaya Ruchi, “The conference was a real turning point for my business. It was just the right combination of practical business seminars, and inspiration. I also made numerous connections at the conference that have led to new clients.” The conference has also attracted the attention of a number of International and National companies such as Penn Mutual and Weiszco, LLC–both have partnered with The JWE.
The conference is for women involved with all stages of business development. To accommodate over 600 attendees and their diverse businesses and levels of experience, the conference offers six different tracks, featuring over 30 unique workshops:
1. The Startup Track: For women in the early stages of planning and launching their businesses.
2. The Skills Track: Focusing on building professional and communication skills.
3. The Business Development Track: Offering tools for business development and expansion.
4. The Special Interest Track: Smaller, focused workshops that are industry or age specific. This track includes a session for women who identify as ‘baby boomers’ and are re-entering or entering the workforce for the first time, as well as sessions for nonprofit leaders on fundraising, and developing metrics for their nonprofit.
5. The Executive Women’s Track: Designed specifically for high-level business executives and/or women with significant business experience.
6. Mind-Body-Soul Track: Addressing the unique challenges that frum businesswomen encounter.
The conference will take place on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel in Parsippany, NJ. For information about The Jewish Woman Entrepreneur 2014 Business Conference, and to register for the conference, visit thejwe.com. Questions may be sent to [email protected].

What happened to kol kevudah bas melech penimah?
#1: It is unpopular and violates the tenets of faith of feminism and as such it must be eradicated.
Number 1, what happened to a man supporting his household? When you get those guys out if the Bais Mesresh, you’ll get your kol kevudah bas melech penimah back. You can’t have it both ways.
#3, most of professional women that are in the workforce husbands are the bread winners. A small percentage fall into the category you describe.
Very impressed ! A True Torah based organization !
As it says in Mishlei 31:14 ( aka Aishes Chayil)– ” Haysa K’anios Socher, Mi’merchak Tavi Lachma” – “She (An Aishes Chayil) is like a merchant’s ships – she brings her sustenance from afar.” (Also see Metzudas Dovid there).
-Both the Chofetz Chaim and the Chazon Ish (2 of the biggest Gedolei Yisrael and Gedolei Hador of the past generation) had wives who ran stores to help support their families and husbands financially.
–Kol Kvoda Bas melech Pnima refers to the modest spirit of a woman and does not mean that she cannot leave her house. The Chazon Ish and Chofetz Chaim dispelled that myth in their own lives.
–Women work -both in and out of the house- to help support their families regardless of whether or not their husbands are in learning –due to the tight economic situation even among working men or men who lost their jobs.
