More than 225 women of all ages, from locations across Israel, participated in a two-day Mesila financial empowerment conference at the Kibbutz Chafetz Chaim convention center. Simultaneously educational, inspirational and relaxing, the program combined practical workshops – on consumerism, budgeting, increasing income, and teaching kids about money – with presentations by women from diverse backgrounds who inspired with their own uplifting personal stories of empowered change.
