National Hadassah
Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America,
is a volunteer women's organization, whose members are motivated and
inspired to strengthen their partnership with Israel, ensure Jewish
continuity, and realize their potential as a dynamic force in American
society.
Founded in 1912, Hadassah retains the passion and timeless values
of its founder Henrietta Szold, Jewish scholar and activist, dedicated to
Judaism, Zionism and the American ideal. Committed to the centrality of
Israel based on the renaissance of the Jewish people in its historic
homeland, Hadassah promotes the unity of the Jewish people. In Israel,
Hadassah initiates and supports pace-setting health care, education and
youth institutions for all members of society, regardless of creed or
ethnic background.
In the United States, Hadassah enhances the quality of
American and Jewish life through its education and Zionist youth programs,
promotes health awareness and provides personal enrichment and growth for
its members. Hadassah is a leader in both genetic and breast cancer
research.
