Collier/Lee Chapter of Hadassah

Over 108 years ago, one Jewish woman, Henrietta Szold, had the ability and determination to take action and create change — at a time when women were not even permitted to vote — and Hadassah was born.

Hadassah, committed to strengthening the unity of the Jewish people, provides regional health care and medical research through the Hadassah Medical Organization and two hospitals in Jerusalem. Both provide world-class care for over one million admissions a year, regardless of race, religion or nationality.

Hadassah emphasizes that healing is not only medical. It is about fixing what is problematic in society: women’s health issues, women’s rights, anti- Semitism and more.

We welcome Hadassah Associates, men who wish to participate in the mission of supporting Israel, providing healing and focusing on enhancing the quality of Jewish life in the U.S. Associates can work alongside Hadassah women or create their own initiatives.

The Collier/Lee Chapter is pleased to announce its new group, the “Simcha Sisters.”

This group is available to young women who support Hadassah’s mission and goals and, as does the chapter, offers the opportunity to meet and interact with Jewish women focused on “The Power of Women Who Do.”

We have the power to heal our world, raise our voices and take action — making a difference and creating a better future for our children and our grandchildren.
