Elana Frank, entrepreneur and mom to three boys through IVF and embryo donation, helps intended parents navigate becoming parents through her nonprofit, the Jewish Fertility Foundation (JFF). Cost, education and access were tremendous obstacles for this “unspoken” issue in the Jewish community, so she rallied countless like-minded people to create JFF. She has raised almost $8 million, trained 1000+ community and healthcare leaders in infertility sensitivity, matched up hundreds of people with “fertility buddies,” allocated more than $2.7 million in fertility grants, “birthed” 255+ babies, with 94 babies on the way, operates in 10 hubs, and is now scaling JFF nationally.

Jaclyn Clark is a Florida-based attorney who serves as counsel at The Lawfare Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating antisemitism through strategic litigation and advocacy. Clark joined The Lawfare Project in June of 2024 after working as an employment law litigator in private practice for nearly a decade. After spending the greater part of her career defending Fortune 500 companies against employment discrimination claims, it was especially jarring for Clark to witness the double standards and selective outrage applied toward Israel and the Jewish people in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. She was inspired to use her legal experience to help defend the civil rights of the Jewish people as a result.
