This past weekend marked a major milestone in the American Jewish community- the 100th anniversary of the founding of Hadassah. We are blessed to have such an active Hadassah presence in our community. Hadassah’s contribution to America, Israel and communities around the globe is inspirational and impressive. Founded in 1912 by the courageous, scholarly, and forward thinking Henriettz Szold, Hadassah has become an organization:
Committed to the centrality of Israel based on the renaissance of the Jewish people in its historic homeland, Hadassah promotes the unity of the Jewish people. In Israel, Hadassah initiates and supports pace-setting health care, education and youth institutions, and land development to meet the country’s changing needs. In the United States, Hadassah enhances the quality of American and Jewish life through its education and Zionist youth programs, promotes health awareness, and provides personal enrichment and growth for its members.
To learn more about the history of Hadassah, find out information about our local chapters, and learn about all of their important work, please check out he Hadassah website .
