An Intimate Evening of Learning, Growth, and Connection

A Living Financially Smarter in Israel & Nefesh B’Nefesh event

About This Event

Many of us—smart, accomplished women—have inadvertently outsourced our financial well-being or simply avoided engaging with it altogether. We juggle complex careers, manage households, support families, and yet somehow, our personal finances remain a mysterious landscape we’re hesitant to navigate.

This evening isn’t about making you feel guilty. It’s about creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where we can have an honest conversation about money. We’ll break down financial concepts into digestible insights, demystify your financial picture, and show you how to move ahead from where you are now.

Join us for an inspiring fireside chat led by journalist Shanna Fuld, where three powerhouse women share their financial and business journeys—from their personal stories, relationships and associations with money management to the power of saying no.

Rifka Lebowitz, a leading financial planner, will reveal how to navigate Israel’s financial landscape, while Avital Eusgeld, a branding expert, will discuss shaping a business with impact. Get ready for an engaging 45-minute discussion, followed by a 15-minute audience Q&A, where you can gain valuable insights from these leading women!
