Dear Hadassah Broward,
We have experienced a fun and meaningful Awards brunch, The Szoldies, on May 22, complements of Cheryl Cotler, chair, and Region Program VP, and committee Sophie Gottlieb, Galia Barlow, Carole Kralstein, Linda Bonomo, and Dorrie Kahn.
This capped off a well thought out 4 part series, Women Who Do. We heard from female Rabbis and Cantors, we learned about the historical Jewish presence in Florida, we had a "real life" conversation amongst Golda Meir, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and of course Hadassah's own Henrietta Szold, hence the Szoldies. We had fun with Jewish Jeopardy.

Hadassah will be returning to in-person events and gatherings!
If your Hadassah chapter will be returning to in person events, local units are required to follow state and local laws and regulations, the current CDC guidelines and recommendations as well as the following Hadassah protocols in order to conduct activities in the safest and healthiest manner possible. Please note: applicable Florida law states that businesses operating in Florida may not require patrons/customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to or receive services from the business. These protocols have been mailed to chapter leadership. If you would like a copy of the protocols or have questions about implementing them, email floridarequests@hadassah.org.
