Welcome to Hadassah Rhode Island!
We actively support Hadassah's hospitals in Israel, Hadassah's Youth Aliyah villages and Young Judaea grants and scholarships. Our meetings inform us about relevant issues in Israel, the US and around the world, while empowering us and building our advocacy skills. Our popular activities include our book club, open board meetings, a fun Hanukkah celebration and more.
Our strong and dedicated board serves more than 800 members and associate members, and many more friends of Hadassah RI. We are proud of our accomplishments and contributions throughout the years towards the welfare of Israel and its diverse population, and to the whole world, through Hadassah Medical Organization's state-of-the-art research and innovation.
The Hadassah Rhode Island Book Club currently meets regularly on Zoom. Our prior in-person meetings were held in Providence at Books on the Square. Discussions are held on the first Monday of each month at 7:30 pm. Books are selected at our January meeting. A full listing of our book selections for the year is available.
New members are always welcome. Email us here to learn more and join.
Join us on Zoom for this phenomenal, relevant program that will increase your power against antisemitism. Discussion will be guided by Professor Andrew Pessin, an expert in the field. Participants will have an opportunity to speak openly and honestly
