The Federation of Synagogues Women's Guilds of South Africa manifesto is to
promote and foster traditional orthodox Jewish values in the home as well as in the wider Jewish community. We organise shiurim on topics pertaining to Orthodox
Jewish womens' issues. Our members receive regular newsletters before the main chagim We also accomplish this task by encouraging and organising religious and Jewish cultural activities in the individual
synagogues through the ladies guilds. The guilds coordinate brochas, shiurim visiting the sick and various programmes for senior citizens.
The Federation of Synagogues Women's Guilds represents the voice
of Orthodox women at the National Level by being represented on the CO Ordinating Council of National Jewish Organisations of South Africa. We are part of the 'Shalom Bayit' project which supports and
assists abused Jewish Women.
The Federation assists in the promotion of Kashrut through the Kosher Consumer Organization, which aims to foster the interests of the consumer as well as to strive to
keep the kosher consumer as well informed as possible regarding matters that affect them.
