Julia honoured Jill Kaplan for recently receiving the Tifereth Lion of Judah award and highlighted how she is the second woman, next to Sheila Samson, in the Cape Town community to receive this.
By sharing her experiences of community development, philanthropic interests both locally and globally, and her passion for her family and the Jewish people, Julia left the local Lions inspired and honoured to be members of Lion of Judah.
