Dear Hadassah Friends,
The colors and beauty of spring are inspirational. Now that many of us have been immunized against COVID-19, spring is a time that provides more possibilities to gather with family and friends. It’s a perfect time to reflect on the inspiration we derive from Hadassah. This inspiration comes from the connections we make and the work that is accomplished.

Hadassah’s history is woven into the fabric of Jerusalem. On Yom Yerushalayim, we will commemorate the 54th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem after the Six-Day War, which led to the reunification of our two hospitals.
Join us for a festive, virtual celebration that is not to be missed -- featuring invited celebrity host Tovah Feldshuh, musical performances from the Israeli duo Yonina and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and special guests Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Leon, Hadassah Hospital Mt. Scopus Director Dr. Tamar Elram, Hadassah National President Rhoda Smolow and more!
Powerful speakers will move you, never-before-seen videos will inspire you, and of course, no celebration is complete without music that will have you clapping and singing along!

What I Learned About Mentoring From Hadassah
To me, Hadassah and mentoring are intertwined; you can’t have one without the other.
By Randi Lampert
Webster’s dictionary defines a mentor as “a trusted counselor or guide.” Other definitions are similar, usually mentioning that the mentor has more experience than the person they are mentoring, and the need to build trust within the relationship.
I first became involved in Hadassah when I enrolled my two young children in its Training Wheels program. I knew nothing about the organization at that time. Unlike many others, my mother and grandmother had not been members. I joined simply to have something fun and Jewish to do with my two young sons. While I really enjoyed Training Wheels, as did my boys, the best part of it was the beginning of my involvement with Hadassah. It was there that I met the first of many women who would encourage me to step up to leadership roles in the organization. In other words, they were my first Hadassah mentors.

More motivation to get moving: More than 650 people participated in Round 1 of Every Move Counts, our new health and wellness program designed for all ages and abilities.
