Yaysh - Who We Are

We are the volunteer-led Hartford-area partner of Momentum Unlimited, a global organization founded in 2008. Our mission is to engage and inspire mothers of Jewish children, encouraging them to embrace a vibrant, enriching Jewish life.

At the heart of our work is a highly subsidized trip to Israel, followed by a transformative Year of Growth. This journey offers mothers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to forge deep connections with other women—both within our local group and with participants from around the world—while experiencing the unparalleled beauty and wonder of Israel. Together, we empower women to lead inspired Jewish lives and strengthen their communities.

Here is part of a testimonial from a trip participant:

"Just returned from one week in Israel, and it was beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined. Thank you so much to Momentum for creating such a beautiful itinerary for the trip. I have not laughed or cried so much in seven days in my whole life. All I can say is I am so proud to be Jewish and if anyone is reading this is thinking about visiting and is curious about the trip, please reach out!“

By fostering intentional partnerships with synagogues, local organizations, and our broader community, we empower women to form meaningful connections and lay the groundwork for years of growth. Our programs extend beyond trip participants, warmly welcoming women to join us in discovering and embracing what it means to “do Jewish.”

We are committed to sending our first group of mothers on this extraordinary journey to Israel in the coming year. To make this vision a reality, we’re calling on the support of our Greater Hartford community. This highly subsidized program relies on your generosity, and we need your help to reach our Giving Tuesday goal of raising $10,000. Together, we can make it happen!

Donations of $100 or more will receive a special gift!
