Women of Actiom
ANOTHER GROUP OF WOMEN OF COURAGE
After the Women of Courage 2015 function in memory of Zelda Moshal z’l the most often
asked question was “When is the next one?” The “next one” has now been held and again
the response from the over 200 women was overwhelming. How brave each one of the
speakers was to share her story and prove that “where there is passion and desire there
will always be new horizons.” Once again sincere gratitude to the Moshal family for their
magnanimous support.
