Join Us for the Inaugural Joan Jacobs Signature Brunch on Sunday, October 26, 2025!Carrying forward Joan’s legacy, this first-of-its-kind gathering celebrates resilience, empowerment, and community—inviting us to engage in meaningful conversation about the strength we find in ourselves and each other.
JFS’s inaugural Brunch welcomes Julianna Margulies as our featured guest. An Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award-winning actor, best-selling author, and passionate advocate for social change, Julianna is best known for her roles in ER and The Good Wife. Julianna uses her platform to champion causes close to her heart, including Holocaust education and women’s empowerment. Through her inspiring words, Julianna will help us explore what it means to embrace our strength, lift each other up, and move forward with purpose.
