Help Us Meet the Hadassah St. Petersburg Chapter Gandel Rehabilitation Center Challenge!
Our goal is to raise $18,000 by Rosh Hashanah on October 2, 2024
The $18,000 will purchase an APT professional rehabilitation trainer. This equipment facilitates a total workout for the arms and legs and promotes strength, coordination, and overall mobility for seriously impaired patients.
If each member makes a gift, together, with your one-time donation of $18 or more ($360 is just $1/Day!), we can make a gift that will help severely injured Israelis walk again. Together we can bring hope and provide the rehabilitation that will allow them to rebuild their lives.
Donate here
For large gifts, please contact Patricia Levinson at plevinson@hadassah.org or Yael Shmookler at yshmookler@hadassah.org.

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.

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. Please download and share the Associates Delivering Hope donation flyer at all of your region and chapter events and meetings. Questions about Associates fundraising can be directed to Dana Waxler dwaxler@hadassah.org, Associates Chair.
Israel Bonds and Hadassah You can forge a connection to Israel and provide vital funding for Hadassah's essential programs. Here’s how it works: Purchase an Israel bond and donate it to Hadassah. Hadassah will receive interest on the bond plus principal upon maturity. You will support Israel’s economy and make a difference. Click here for more information.
