Detailed
Description		    National Council of Jewish Women was founded in 1893 by Hannah Greenebaum Solomon, when she and other Jewish women from across the country gathered to participate in the Parliament of Religions at the Chicago World's Fair. The National Council of Jewish Women undertook a wide range of activities, from organizing Sabbath schools for slum children and vocational and industrial classes, to managing model tenements and offering free baths to slum dwellers. Starting with the belief that those in need required skills instead of alms, "friendly visitors" acted as pioneer social workers and family aides. Council sections sponsored free libraries, employment bureaus, kindergartens, day nurseries, and projects providing summer outings for children. They urged professionalism in religious education and sent their members to serve on religious school boards.
