Join UJA Women as we kick off our 2025 campaign with the Ruthann Eckstein z"l Memorial Author Series. We’ll hear from Dara Horn, the award-winning author of the best-seller People Love Dead Jews and a prominent speaker about contemporary antisemitism.

We’ll also hear directly from UJA’s CEO Eric S. Goldstein about our powerful work responding to the growing rise in antisemitism on campus, online, and on the streets.

The Ruthann Eckstein z"l Memorial Author Series honors the life of Ruthann whose passion for literature, Israel, and UJA knew no bounds. UJA is grateful to the Eckstein Family for underwriting this program and for its continued support of UJA's mission to improve the lives of those in need around the world.

Each attendee will receive a signed copy of People Love Dead Jews.
