The Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance (JOFA) is an Open Orthodox Jewish organization providing educational services on women's issues, with the aim of expanding "the spiritual, ritual, intellectual, and political opportunities for women within the framework of Halakha."[5] It was incorporated on April 14, 1998, with Jewish-American writer Blu Greenberg as its first president.[6] It is active in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia.[7][8]
