The Southern half of the Garden State has blossomed with Jersey Strong women who are dedicated to Hadassah's lifesaving mission.
We are powerful members, volunteers and male Associates who work tirelessly to educate, advocate, instill Jewish values and advance health, while enhancing our own lives with lifelong bonds of friendship and personal growth.
Hadassah Southern New Jersey is as diverse as New Jersey's topography, extending from Somerset to Margate, with 30 chapters and 13,000 members. Our chapters have members spanning multiple generations and include some in active adult communities. Our philanthropy efforts are extensive and creative. We provide leadership and portfolio training at all levels. From advocating and educating to supporting our hospitals and Youth Aliyah, our chapters excel at helping to heal our world. Together.
I’m delighted to welcome you to Hadassah Southern New Jersey Region. From Monmouth County to Cape May County, our region services 22 chapters and more than 11,000 members, supporters and Associates. We cover a diversity of demographics and are a strong, dedicated and determined region.
This purpose of this program is to combat the growth revisionist history which accelerated after Oct 7 which denies the connection of the Jewish People to the land of Israel for the purpose of delegitimizing the state of Israel.
We will be honoring individual women from each Southern NJ Hadassah chapter for their impactful and extraordinary contributions to Hadassah during this past year along with a local leader that we will honor with a Hadassah Myrtle Wreath Award.
