Welcome to Hadassah Southern, which spans six states and is home to 17 chapters. Our more than 4,500 members come from a diverse range of experiences, ages and backgrounds. Although we are spread out geographically, we are active and engaged, working together to further Hadassah's lifesaving work in the US, Israel and around the world. We’re also committed to empowering women and each other! Each chapter is unique and offers fun and meaningful programming. We come together as a region at least once a year, and every other year we also gather with our sister regions for a “Super South” conference. These are wonderful opportunities to connect and learn. Please get in touch via email – we would love to have you!
Shalom y’all! And a warm welcome to Hadassah Southern. We are a far-flung region that covers Alabama, Arkansas, the Florida Panhandle, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
