Hadassah

Hadassah, the largest women's organization in the US, was founded in 1912 by Henrietta Szold and is committed to making a difference in the world.  In Israel we help support two hospitals, five schools, out-patient clinics, research facilities and a community health center.  Since 1936 Hadassah has worked hand in hand with the Jewish National Fund to transform barren land into forests, farming, housing, industry and recreation areas.  Hadassah also publishes a respected and informative monthly magazine.

Here in the US, Hadassah promotes projects for women's health and education with numerous study guides and programs.  We sponsor clubs, camps and Israel programs for our youth.  We advocate in Washington, DC on many concerns of women and Jews in America.  Hadassah is a bridge to peace, forging links between people of all religions, creeds and political beliefs.

Locally, we have monthly meetings (except in the summer).  We usually meet the third Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in members' homes.  The Temple bulletin carries a notice about our meetings, including locations and other details.  We've also published the calendar of our meetings for the year below.  We cordially welcome newcomers to attend, visit and share in our many programs.

For more information please contact our current president, listed on the temple's "Get Involved" flier (PDF).

We offer a wide variety of events every year.  We hope that you find these programs interesting and sufficiently broad to meet your needs. A list of events is also available on the Pacific Northwest Region Hadassah website at http://www.hadassahpnw.org.  Also, look for updates in the Temple Beth El bulletin and weekly email.
