This just in: Jenna Bush Hager, co-host of NBC’s TODAY show and best-selling author, will be our keynote speaker at Hadassah's first virtual conference, The Power of Purpose. We all remember Jenna as one of the First Daughters, but since then she's earned a national spotlight in her own right, including as a charitable ambassador. Hear from her and other top-tier speakers on advocacy, women's health, Israel and women's empowerment. Read more here. Visit hadassah.org/powerofpurpose for the full speakers list and registration.

Thursday, December 9, 7 pm ET.
