As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, we're offering thought-provoking events to celebrate the arrival of spring. These include ways to remember the past while looking toward the future, both crucial ways of how we change the world. Join Hadassah in the coming weeks to learn, share and grow as we spring forward!
Faces of Judaism: Evolve Hadassah: The Next Generation presents Race, Ethnicity and How Judaism Connects Us. Join Hadassah's Zionist Scholar-in-Residence Michelle Rojas-Tal and Mahrinah Shije, a Tewa and Sephardic Jew, for an enlightening conversation on Jewish women's identity and values. Thursday, March 23, 8 pm ET.
Bring Israel to your seder: This year, the first two nights of Passover fall on April 5 and 6. Because 2023 is the 75th Anniversary of Israel, we encourage you to incorporate our Matzah of Celebration reading into your seder, and to share it with others as well. It is a wonderful way to commemorate this hugely significant anniversary and express our Zionist passion and hope for Israel.
Reflect and remember: Join us for a 30-minute Yom Hashoah Commemoration. Hosted by our Jewish Education Department, this program will feature survivors who will share their experiences during and after World War II. Let's gather as a community to feel each other's strength on this solemn day. Tuesday, April 18, 1 pm ET.
One Book, One Hadassah:Live with Pam Jenoff, author of Code Name Sapphire. Executive Editor Lisa Hostein interviews best-selling author Pam Jenoff about her latest historical fiction Code Name Sapphire. Set during World War II and centered around three compelling women, the novel is inspired by true stories of resistance during the war and filled with complex family relationships, secrets and betrayals. Thursday, April 20, 7 pm ET.
