As the days grow shorter and darker, we look forward to bringing the joyous light of the menorah into our homes this Hanukkah (December 10-18). In the same way, you can count on Hadassah@home to spread the light of connection, engagement and enlightenment in the weeks ahead.
Join us in December for some celebratory online programs. And may the light of the menorah remind us of the ongoing miracle of our vibrant Hadassah community.
