TRAGEDY IN PITTSBURGH - A MESSAGE FROM NATIONAL HADASSAH
|
| |
|
Dear Friends,
Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America, Inc., mourns
with the entire Jewish community today. We are devastated to learn that
on Shabbat, at least 11 of our brothers and sisters were murdered. The
gunman who entered the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA
screamed, “all Jews must die”, as gunfire rained down on members of the
congregation who had gathered for morning Shabbat services.
Our hearts go out to all who have been affected by this tragedy,
especially our members in the Pittsburgh area. We are deeply saddened by
the presumed loss of Daniel Stein, the husband of Sharyn Stein,
Membership VP of Hadassah Greater Pittsburgh Region.
Our deep gratitude goes out to the first responders, four of which are among the wounded. We pray for their full recovery.
According to a report by the ADL,
anti-Semitic incidents and attacks have risen by 60% in the United
States in the last year alone. This shocking escalation in hate both at
home and abroad requires swift and broad action by our leaders.
As members of Hadassah, we must continue to stand strong against anti-Semitism and hate wherever it is present. As the NGO (non-governmental organization) convener of the Never Again Education Act, Hadassah
members have a unique role to play in ensuring this bill becomes law.
Head to our National Action Center now to take action on policy
priorities that matter to you, including this bill that would expand
Holocaust Education and anti-hate curricula.
When one life is taken all our lives are affected in common grief and
conviction to make the world a better place. May we go from strength
to strength.
B’Shalom,
Ellen Hershkin
National President

HADASSAH ON CALL - NEW FRONTIERS IN MEDICINE - FEATURING CELIAC DISEASE
|
| |
|
Worldwide, the pooled global prevalence of Celiac Disease is reported
to be about 1.4% of the population, with many of those cases going
undiagnosed. Left untreated, Celiac Disease can lead to long-term health
complications including early onset osteoporosis, miscarriage and iron
deficiency anemia. While a 100% gluten-free diet is the only existing
treatment for celiac disease today, our guest on this episode, Prof.
Michael Wilschanski, MD explains why many may not realize that.
Wilschanski delves into the disease's relationship to dental issues, and
obesity. He shares surprising ways of identifying and managing this
disease, and the exciting research underway at Hadassah Medical
Organization.
