Nov 7 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Join us virtually on November 7th with bestselling author, mother, and former reality TV star, Jill Zarin! Jill will share how she survived, thrived, and made her community better during the pandemic. We will also hear from women right here in our Jewish community as we draw inspiration from our own stars too.

Sunday, November 7th, 2021 | 5:00 p.m.
Register here.
The link to the event will be sent closer to the date.

Guest Speaker
While she may be best-known for her role on The Real Housewives of New York City, Jill Zarin is a successful entrepreneur, has a passion for philanthropy, and is the bestselling co-author of Secrets of a Jewish Mother. Through her wit and positivity, she will share how her desire to give back to her community raised thousands of dollars for PPE for frontline workers, all while inspiring a new business venture with her daughter.

This is an evening you won’t want to miss.

We look forward to “seeing” you at Choices!

Courtney Cohen, Leanne Hazon and Sherri Wise
Co-Chairs, Choices
