As the secular year nears its end, we have much to be thankful for, including some of the milestones that mark this holiday season.

Let's focus on our medical and youth projects in Israel, our membership and advocacy programs in America—and our vision for the future.

As Henrietta Szold’s wise words remind us, “There is no ending that is not a beginning.”

Israel’s Ministry of Health has rated Hadassah’s hospitals in Ein Kerem and on Mount Scopus as the best in their respective classes.

We stand for Israel as a sovereign Jewish nation with the right of self-defense. We believe in coexistence and equal rights for Jewish and Arab citizens in Israel.

Whether nursing babies, assisting in disaster relief or advancing the rights of women, Hadassah's advocacy agenda is on the march.

The claims that masks represent an attack on freedom—rather than the safest path to it—have become rallying cries that attract many, like a golden calf.

Measured in masks that signify great challenge and our ability to rise to the occasion, we have now had a year of Purim.
