Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City’s Women’s Philanthropy will host a philanthropic event featuring Brooklyn-based jewelry designer Freida Rothman on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
The event will be held at The 1900 Building in Mission Woods from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Rothman will be participating in a Q&A, and attendees will have the opportunity to view and shop her creations.
Members of Federation’s Lions of Judah giving society are invited to a pre-event VIP reception starting at 5:30 p.m. Each VIP ticket includes a meet and greet with Rothman and a custom-designed necklace.
Rothman is a second-generation jeweler and a mother of five. All of her grandparents were Holocaust survivors, and Rothman attributes her inspiration for many of her contemporary pieces to the strength and resiliency of their stories.
Pieces from Rothman’s collection, including a custom-designed necklace for the event, will be available for purchase. Ten percent of jewelry sales will benefit the Shavot program in Federation’s partner city of Ramle, Israel. Shavot is a program that aims to help Jewish and Arab girls strengthen their sense of self-worth. Shavot provides tools that will allow them to reach their full potential.
