Hadassah works to improve the quality of life for all the people of Israel and to strengthen Jewish life in the United States. Hadassah is about people, about changing lives, about Tikkun Olam--making the world a better place. Hadassah focused on Health, Education, Youth and the Environment. Hadassah changes lives, one person at a time.

Hadassah supports the Young Judaea programs (3rd grade to college). Young Judaea is unique in its ability to offer a fun, safe, social environment that also includes a distinct focus on education, leadership and social action. Please check their website for summer camps, Israel trips and other programs at www.youngjudaea.org

Third Thursday of the Month At MJCC Library 6:30 pm	Book Group PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AMERICA AND ISRAEL Join in...all are welcome to join the stimulating conversation relating to the books and the connection with Israel and America. May 16, 2013 - The Chosen people, America, Israel, and the ordeals of Divine Election by Todd Gitlin and Liel leibovitz The Chosen Peoples delivers a bold new take on both nations’ histories. It shows how deeply the idea of closeness has affected not only their enthusiasts but also their antagonists. It digs deeply beneath the superficialities of headlines, the details of negotiations, the excuses and justifications that keep cropping up for both nations’ successes and failures. It shows how deeply ingrained is the idea of a chosen people in both nations’ histories—and yet how complicated that idea really is. And it offers interpretations of closeness that both nations dearly need in confronting their present-day quandaries. Weaving together history, theology, and politics, The Chosen Peoples vividly retells the dramatic story of two nations bound together by a wild and sacred idea, takes unorthodox perspectives on some of our time’s most searing conflicts, and offers an unexpected conclusion: only by taking the idea of closeness seriously, wrestling with its meaning, and assuming its responsibilities can both nations thrive.
