Dear Hadassah Sisters,
There is always something interesting entering our Hadassah "in" box. Today there was a J (Jerusalem) Post Summit airing live from Tel Aviv. The topic: The Healers, Women in Science, Medicine, and Global Health. Hadassah's own Dr. Polina Stepensky, Director of HMO's Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Immunotherapy for Adults and Children was one of the four women in science and medicine to be interviewed by Maayan Hoffman, J Post's Deputy CEO and host of Hadassah's On Call podcast. How great is that!

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.

L'Chayim Chapter Passover Seder
Thursday, March 30, 2023
Sunday, April 2, 2023 5:30 PM
On February 1st, Broward Hadassah's Rosh Chodesh women met to celebrate Tu B'Shevat and Heart Health Month. We were educated about the holiday and heart healthy snacks were shared. Everyone wore RED. We were educated about the history of "Jews and the Chocolate Trade."
As always, the event was a wonderful volunteer effort.
A note from Lori Heiken
Thank you so much for your generous donation to Hadassah in memory of our mom, Phyllis Small. We will be purchasing a road tile in mom's memory to go in the Mother and Child Pavilion. We hope to be traveling to Israel in the next few years so we can see this.
We certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness and condolences through this difficult time.
With gratitude,
Lori Heiken and the family of Phyllis Small

Gonzalez v Google: Inside a Modern-Day David v Goliath Case
Hadassah’s Attorneys and Judges Council presents, Gonzalez v Google, LLC., a case of first impression before the Supreme Court on Sunday, March 19, 2023, 2 pm ET/11 am PT/ 8 pm Israeli time. Join us on Zoom! Click here to register.
Fresh from oral argument before the Supreme Court, Keith Altman will bring us his view on this modern day David v Goliath story. Representing the Gonzalez family whose son died as a result of a terrorist attack, Keith Altman argues that YouTube’s algorithms recommended terrorism recruitment videos to users and thus expanded the reach of the Islamic State. Google, LLC is the owner of YouTube. The Gonzalez case has the potential to alter how social media giants provide content to users.
NItsana Darshan-Leitner (invited), attorney founder of Israel Law Center, has been behind this case for 7 years, fighting terror and antisemitism through the legal arena. She brings charges against those responsible for terror attacks and obtains financial compensation for the victims worldwide. Keith Altman argued this case before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. This case was set for oral argument on February 21, 2023.

We are excited that author Hannah Brenner Johnson will Zoom in live with us. Click here to register. Shortlisted follows the paths of 9 extraordinary women who appeared on Presidential short lists for Supreme Court nominations in the decades before Sandra Day O’Connor made history.
