Hello Hadassah Sisters —
The monthly eblast is being released a few days late because I wanted to use this column to write about my experiences at the Hadassah conference in Las Vegas that ended on July 30. It was an enormously rewarding and fulfilling experience. What I’ve written is only a snapshot and doesn’t include many wonderful speakers or the connection to Hadassah and sisterhood that you feel. Next summer, I hope that more of you will experience the energy first hand.
1. Together We Will Heal — This is the new phase of the Israel Now Emergency Response Campaign. It includes the Gandel (rhymes with candle) Rehabilitation Center, addressing Mental Health issues, 6 operating rooms in the Davidson Tower & and an ICU in the Round Building. Read more

Hadassah Physicians Council's Inaugural Book Club Meeting - FREE and OPEN TO ALL! Please join the Hadassah Physicians Council for its inaugural book club discussion on Thursday, September 5 at 7:30 pm ET/4:30 pm PT. We will be talking about Grave Intervention, written by our very own Physicians Council member, Dr. Shira Shiloah. Her second thriller, Grave Intervention is a paranormal medical suspense, that blurs the lines between real and imaginary to explore the hidden side of the historical suburban town, Naperville, Illinois. She creates authentic characters and true-to-life medical scenes based on her unique observations as a physician and novelist. We are excited that author, Dr. Shiloah, will be in attendance! Click here to register –https://hadassah-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUlce-vqzsuH90kfNFkxxXs0pQ9f0lG2a99. Grave Intervention is available in digital, print and audiobook. The audiobook was an Editor’s pick on Spotify. Questions? Email us physicianscouncil@hadassah.org.
HADASSAH ON CALL PODCAST: Immunity Unraveled Can you treat a rare bladder condition with an asthma drug? Hadassah has. Can we replace the EpiPen? Hadassah's working on it.

SPEAK OUT: Tell Congress to Support Reproductive Choice Two years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, access to reproductive care is under attack for women across the country. Restrictions on reproductive choice and care threaten women’s health. Join us in urging lawmakers to pass legislation to protect choice, contraception and fertility treatments.
OUR MISSION IN ACTION: Recommitting to Our Pride as Jews and Zionists “Summer is supposed to be a time to relax, but for Israel and the Jewish world, this is a year with no summer break,” Hadassah National President Carol Ann Schwartz writes in Hadassah Magazine, touching on the alarming rise of antisemitism, Hadassah’s #EndTheSilence campaign and the upcoming elections.
Giving to Hadassah Every contribution made to Hadassah is meaningful and it is understandable for Hadassah’s donors to ask, “Where does my money actually go?” Example, our new EndtheSilence campaign is designated to “Hadassah,” as this allows us the flexibility to fund the most urgent needs related to this issue.

Planned Giving & Estates: New Letter of Intent form There’s a new form in town! Become a legacy giver to Hadassah with our new Letter of Intent form. An LOI lets us know that you have included a gift to Hadassah in your will, trust or other estate plan. We would love to welcome you to Hadassah’s 1912 Legacy Society!
360° of Healing with Hadassah Associates Hadassah Associates have adopted the 360°– Delivering Hope campaign as their 2024 fundraising initiative and are counting on YOU to help spread the word.
