7th Annual Youth Leadership Grants
“Present at the Beginning: Celebrating Three Women and Three Faiths”
The 2011-2012 Youth Leadership Grants topic centered on three women from the Abrahamic faiths: Yocheved, mother of Moses; Mary, mother of Jesus; and Khadija, wife of Muhammad. While the lives of these women were quite different, each faced great hardship while exemplifying the qualities of patience, strength and enduring faith. Each was also important in the lives of the founding fathers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
