17th Annual BQLI Region Women of Achievement Gala

This program is scheduled on Eastern Time Zone and will be held in-person.

Location: Temple Beth Sholom, Roslyn Heights, NY

Join us for a wonderful evening as we celebrate the 17th Annual BQLI Region Women of Achievement Gala!

Our BQLI Region Sisterhood Affiliates have nominated outstanding women for recognition, and we proudly present our 2026 Woman of Achievement and L’Dor V’Dor Award honorees. These special women graciously contribute their time, talents, and energy to support their Sisterhood, their synagogues, our shared community, and Israel. Through volunteerism and steadfast dedication, each honoree exemplifies the finest qualities of a Conservative Jewish Woman.

Kindly make your reservations by June 8, 2026. For tickets, journal ads, and further details, please visit the official Gala event page.
