Henrietta Szold’s Zionist Dream
Watch as writer Francine Klagsbrun discusses “Henrietta Szold: Hadassah and the Zionist Dream,” her new biography about Hadassah’s pioneering founder. Read an excerpt from the book in our latest issue here.
At a time of crisis and existential threat for Israel, Klagsbrun, author of several books, including the best-selling 2017 biography Lioness: Golda Meir and the State of Israel, explored Szold’s belief in practical, pragmatic Zionism as she revealed the person behind the legend.
Considered one of the most important figures in American Jewish history, Szold helped build the infrastructure for Israel’s hospital system, rescued thousands of European children through Youth Aliyah and, through Hadassah, forever changed what it means for hundreds of thousands of women to belong in Jewish America.
