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.

Thursday, May 17, 2012 6:30pm	Film Club Imagine watching a fantastic film with group interesting people! Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die (Bergson Group) 2011 Documentary film maker Laurence Jarvik explores the actions and inactions of the U.S. government as well as American Jewish leaders, exposing the political trade offs that kept the doors closed to Jewish emigrants fleeing the Nazi regime. Requests were made to bomb Auschwitz, set up a Jewish army and construct rescue havens, yet no action was taken. Containing previously classified interviews and rare newsreel footage. A rare chronicle and much needed history lesson for those who were too young to know or never told a reminder to those who have forgotten. What this means in the very different but still dangerous world we live in today.
Thursday, June 21, 2012 2:00pm	Book Group "Listen to Her Voice: Women of Hebrew Bible" by Miki Raver Eve, Sarah, Raqchel, Delilah, and Ruth, their names live on, but their ancient stories have been obscured. This newly issued paperback presents a sumptuously illustrated retelling of the lives of 18 women in the Hebrew Bible. Author Miki Raver pairs each vibrant and daring tale with an eloquent meditation on their meaning for modern women. Beautiful reproductions of classic Biblical art from such masters as Rubens, Brueghel, Raphael, and Chagall illustrate these dramatic stories. This rich marriage of art, literature, and spirituality offers substantive and entertaining reading, as well as a fresh entry into traditional faith.
