The terror and horror of the events unfolding in Israel are being felt by everyone throughout our community. Hadassah's response has been immediate and efficient, and the Hadassah Medical Organization has been providing expert medical care to soldiers and civilians. Learn about Hadassah's efforts by watching our Live Briefing From Hadassah — At War: Heal Israel Now featuring Hadassah leaders. Here in the US, our support for Israel is crucial. But we may need support, connections and community ourselves in these difficult times. Connect with Hadassah and connect with one another through our online programming about Zionism, Jewish literature, Jewish resilience and more.
Calling All Educators Join us for the Educators Council’s Steering Committee Meeting on Thursday, November 2, 2023, at 8 pm ET (5 pm PT).

Discuss some of the burning issues in education impacting our society today: (1) antisemitism in our schools and communities, (2) Holocaust education, and (3) curriculum decision-making in education. We also want your input and ideas to help shape the future direction of our national Hadassah Educators Council.
