Scituate Resident to be Honored with International Women’s Empowerment Award
Allyson Gall is one of 12 awardees selected for social justice honor
SCITUATE — Scituate resident Allyson Gall will be honored with Women of Reform Judaism’s (WRJ), 2025 Women’s Empowerment Award.
WRJ, the feminist affiliate of the largest and most diverse Jewish denomination in North America, selected 12 individuals to be honored with this prestigious award that highlights those who embody social justice.
This award was established in 2019 to honor women, nonbinary, and genderfluid individuals who strengthen the voices of others, with a focus on empowering women and girls, and who promote progressive Jewish values.
“In line with Women of Reform Judaism’s legacy of strengthening the voices of women worldwide, the individuals selected for this prestigious honor work toward a more just, inclusive, and compassionate world in all that they do for their communities,” said WRJ President Karen Sim.
Gall is a member of Congregation Sha’aray Shalom in Hingham, MA, often found leading social justice initiatives at the Massachusetts State Capitol. She was previously the Director of American Jewish Committee for the state of New Jersey. Each year she leads a food packing program of 10,000 meals for the local food bank program, collects 200 wool socks for shelters, and she successfully lobbied state legislators to pass a housing bill in Massachusetts.
WRJ will acknowledge and celebrate Gall and her fellow awardees Sunday, April 6, 2025, as part of WRJ’s Social Justice Conference (SJC). This four-day conference is designed to train attendees on the biggest social justice issues of our time. Attendance includes education from policy experts, advocacy training, access to the Women’s Empowerment Awards dinner, ending with a day of lobbying at the US Capitol.
Attendance options are available for all (age 18+) interested in advocacy through a Jewish feminist lens. Register today.
