Fostering good health, particularly for women, is a Hadassah cornerstone. Even during the pandemic, we've advanced women's health through our Every Move Counts program. Participants using our virtual activity tracker have walked solo or in groups, as well as swimming, hiking, doing chair exercises and much more, converting all kinds of movements into steps, allowing participation anywhere. They've virtually crossed the US, from the RBG statue in Brooklyn to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, moving the equivalent of 42.7 million total steps — or 7.2 trips across North America! They are getting healthy, right at home.

US support for Israel: The first report issued by the UN's unending, unprecedented Commission of Inquiry shows that its only goal is to unfairly single out and demonize Israel.

This bipartisan bill will make it clear that the US stands with Israel and cuts the US share of the COI budget. Urge your legislators to support the COI Elimination Act.
