Once again, it's time for the
Rochester Hadassah Janet Wagner Football Challenge – named in honor of
our past, incredibly dedicated chair of many years. Through this 30+
year fundraiser, thousands of dollars were raised for our Hadassah
projects in Israel. We need your support to continue with this
successful annual initiative.
Here's how it works. You buy or
sell the tickets at $10 each. Return the top portion of the form to
Margie Wiseman, 1761 Highland Ave, 14618. We match you randomly with
teams. If they win, you win $$. Winners will be contacted by our
treasurer.
It's so easy and your $10 purchase will help
us keep the Hadassah dream alive. Questions? Want tickets? Contact
Monika Katzel, 203-1200, lesterkatzel@earthlink.net or Marilyn Rosen, 585-461-4684 or marilyn.rosen@gmail.com
HADASSAH PICNIC UPDATE
It was a wonderful picnic! In spite of the heat, a lovely afternoon
was had by all. It was nice to see new faces and to taste everyone's
contributions to our cookout. A big THANK YOU to our Grill Meisters,
who worked in 98 degree heat to keep us fed: Gary Steinberg, Bruce
Green, Frank Karbel and Michael Miller. Cheers to Marla Miller and
Emily Fishman for co-chairing this fun event and to Marcia Gabrilove
Ladin for her tremendous support. We'll plan this again for next year.
ROCHESTER HADASSAH SCHOOL MITZVAH PROGRAM
In another month, it's back to school for our area students, ready to
work and learn. Unfortunately, many will come lacking the tools
necessary for classroom participation. WE CAN HELP – by buying school
supplies for the kids at Rochester School #3. Use those August
back-to-school coupons to purchase paper, folders, notebooks, pencils,
pens, markers and art supplies. New or gently used pleasure reading
books are always appreciated.
Bring your donations to Hadassah
meetings/events, to me, or call for a pickup. The students and teachers
are so grateful for all your gifts, that allow the kids to be prepared
for this school year.

YOUTH ALIYAH/CHILDREN AT RISK UPDATE
The women of Hadassah remain deeply involved in helping to support
the three youth villages: Meir Shfeyah located in the Carmel Mountains
near Zichron Ya'akov, Ramat Hadassah Szold Youth Village southeast of Haifa,
where 70 percent of the residents come from Ethiopian or former Soviet Republic backgrounds, and Hadassah Neurim, between Netanya and Moshav
Beit Yanai. Over the years Hadassah has raised millions of dollars toward enriching the programs at the three youth villages. At Hadassah Neurim, there is a special needs program and a sports track for the athletically gifted students as well as other innovative opportunities such as animal therapy, car mechanics and carpentry. At Meir Shfeyah, alongside the computer rooms, library, sports stadium, greenhouse, chicken farm, dairy and small model Ethiopian village, there is a winery, begun in 2005, which produces 5,000 bottles of premium wine annually and is run with the help of the 11th and 12th grade students.
We can help these students in our Youth Aliyah Villages by
purchasing Youth Aliyah Certificates that are good for any occasion.
Small Certificates are $5 and up plus postage. Large
Certificates are $15 and up plus postage. Contact Marlene Elkin
271-1871.

HADASSAH/JCC SHED
Remember the JCC/Hadassah Shed is in the back of the JCC parking lot. Hadassah and the JCC get paid by the pound for textile donations, which are then directed to those in need in the US and around the world. Please - only clothing, shoes, purses, linens, towels in tied plastic bags. No household items (non-textile), toys, pillows.

HADASSAH NEWS - CHILD RIDES TO HADASSAH OPERATING ROOM IN STYLE!
What three-year-old child would want to be wheeled into the
operating room on a hospital bed if instead he could arrive on his own
set of wheels?
“Surgery isn't fun, but there's no reason the ride to the operating
room can't be,” comments Dr. Rely Alon, Director of the Hadassah
Medical Organization’s Division of Nursing and Health Professions.
Dan Synett is the first child to arrive at the operating room in
Hadassah’s new ride-on car. This isn’t Dan’s first trip to Hadassah’s
operating room. “Dan was born with a congenital defect in his urinary
system that affects his kidneys and bladder,” explains Dr. Guy Hidas,
Director of Pediatric Urology at Hadassah. “In severe cases,” he says,
“this defect leads to kidney failure and requires dialysis and a
kidney transplant.”
Dan was born via emergency C-section at only 31 weeks gestation. His
initial chances of living a healthy life were slim. When Dan was only a
few weeks old, he underwent his first surgery. “This one, however,
should be his last,” says Dr. Hidas.
“As first-time parents, we had no idea how low Dan’s chances of
survival were,” relates Dan’s mother, Nadine Synett. “I am so grateful
for everything Hadassah did to save him.”
Mrs. Synett adds, “Dan received excellent care at Hadassah. Riding
to the operating room in a car like grandpa’s definitely made the whole
experience even better.”

HADASSAH'S 360 DEGREES OF HEALING - THE FULL CIRCLE CAMPAIGN
Hadassah is the founder of Israel’s modern health-care system and has
been tireless in maintaining the highest standards for more than 100
years. Since 1960, the population of Jerusalem has tripled, and the
demands on the Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO) and Hadassah Hospital
at the Ein Kerem campus have grown exponentially. Hadassah must
respond—and we must look forward. So HMO begins, first by completely
reimagining the iconic Round Building, the hospital’s original inpatient
center at Ein Kerem. With this renovation and expansion, the new Round
Building will be an important healing center for Israel. It will
significantly advance the services in its outpatient surgery, maternity,
oncology, and dermatology departments. Please support this newest campaign!!! Contact Monika Katzel for further information: 203-1200 or lesterkatzel@earthlink.net
