Overview
Welcome to Hadassah Greater Baltimore, home to approximately 4,500 members. We come from a diverse range of experiences, ages and backgrounds. We are an active, engaged community who work together to further Hadassah's lifesaving work in the US, Israel and around the world while empowering women and each other. Our advocacy programs are quite popular as we take on important issues, including fighting antisemitism and advocating for women’s rights and health equity. Every year, we host our gala, Cell-A-Brate, which raises funds to support stem cell research and cutting-edge technology at Hadassah’s hospitals. We also have weekly programs for education and entertainment.
Our region has a fabulous resale store called Scene II by Hadassah. Who shops at our store? Everyone, because everyone is looking for “steals and deals”, which is exactly why the store is one of our biggest fundraisers. Learn how to donate to Scene II by Hadassah in our quick resource guide. That’s just one example of our creativity, dedication and community in action.
We would love to include you as a member. Join us today!
