As we begin a new year of Hadassah activity, let’s make this a season of renewal for Hadassah itself.

Neither Hadassah nor Israel—not to mention the Jewish people—would exist today if it weren’t for diligent learning of our history.

For Hadassah, summer is when we hold our National Assembly and Convention to assess our work, develop strategies and formulate plans for the year to come.

Hadassah unequivocally supports reproductive rights. It has been our policy for decades and we are now reaffirming our stance.

The idea of enshrining modern Israel’s commemorations on the universal Jewish calendar is consistent with the entire sweep of our history.

Before ancient Greece bequeathed the word democracy, ancient Israel pioneered many aspects of the concept. Hadassah leadership follows the same philosophy.

Purim and Pesach are paradigmatic of the two states of Jewish existence.

Hadassah’s projects and institutions, from our hospitals to our youth villages, foster a culture of going the extra mile.
