Hadassah has a long history of sending assistance and relief efforts to places of crisis around the world, from aiding earthquake-ravaged victims in Mexico to a COVID-19 medical mission to Argentina. And now, Hadassah is on the ground for the refugees of Ukraine. Watch this powerful video about these efforts.
Providing support of these efforts is an excellent way to connect with Hadassah and our healing work in the world. For that and more ways to connect from your home, read below.
Urgent help for Ukraine refugees: Hadassah's Youth Aliyah Villages, Hadassah Neurim and Meir Shfeyah in Israel, are housing a major influx of young people, ages 12-18, as well as their families when necessary, who are fleeing the conflict. Hadassah is assuming many of the expenses associated with this effort. We need your help.
Our next book discussion: Join us for One Book, One Hadassah: Live with Lisa Barr, author of Woman on Fire. Part thriller and part historical fiction, with strong female characters and a well-researched look into the art world, Barr’s page-turner explores provenance and ownership of Nazi-looted art and asks how far one should go to reclaim a family treasure. Thursday, April 7, 7 pm ET.
