on Mount Scopus, which was lost in 1948 during Israel's War of Independence; in 19G1, the new Hadassah-H e b r e w University Medical Center was opened on the western outskirts of Jerusalem. Many of these services were turned over to the State of Israel in 1940, thus giving its new Department of Health a readymade pattern and adding to the scope of governmnt's healthcare. Had this been Hadassah's total contribution, one might have said "dayenu." When however, in the 1930's, after Hitler's riso to power, history began to write another chapter in the Jewish tragedy, Hadassah became the main factor in the Youth Aliyah program, designed to rescue and rehabilitate Jewish youth. To date, m o r e than 100,000 young people from 72 countries have come to Israel through Youth Aliyah. Their self-respect restored, their rights to study, to work, and to serve reaffirmed, they have become integrated and valued citizens of Israel. Vocational schools in Jerusalem, J.N.F. work throughout the decades add to the total of Hadassah's share in the building of Israel. In retrospect Hadassah sees its program as a forerunner, in a way, of our country's "Ono World" concept of mutual aid, t e c h n i c a l assistance, peace corps, etc. As the nations of Africa and Asia emerge into the world of the twentieth century, into sovereignty and its attendant problems, Israel, as good neighbor, as one which but recently trod the path of emerging nationhood, offers to help with its knowledge and experience. Hadassah participates in this effort. The Hadassah Medical O r g a n i z a t i o n has sent ophthalmologists to Tanganyika and Ethiopia; helped to. train nurses from Liberia; and to provide undergraduate- training to Afro-Asian students from many countries. The story of Hadassah In the United States requires another chapter. Its groups exist in every s t a t e of the Union. Its A m e r i c a n Affairs program trains for good citizenship; its work with youth Is part of Us deep conviction that only a Jew-
ish educated community can assure meaningful Jewish survival; its adult education program takes another path, leading to that same goal. This y e a r Hadassah celebrates its fiftieth anniversary. Five decades of service, a membership grown to .318,000, organized in 1,320 c h a p t e r s and groups testify to its role in Jewish life. (WNS)

By Rose L. Halprin Fifteen years after the first Zionist Congress was held in Basle in 1897, a small group of women, meeting in New York under the leadership of Henrietta S z o l d , organized themselveo as H a d a s s a h , They .{sought to fulfill the double re•• isponsibility of maintaining prac\ jtical enterprises in Palestine 'and fostering Jewish values in this country. If Hadassah were being organized t o d a y , Its program would undoubtedly encompass the same goals, since the preservation of Jewish life in the Diaspora communities outside of Israel and help to the State of Israel arc (win engines leading to the same destination. In Palestine, Hadassah's activities w e r e shaped by the needs of the community; they were an expression of faith put to work. In 1912 the country lacked even the most minimal health program. Hadassah initiated a medical program, modest at first, gradually spreading a network of health services all over the country. The first enterprise was undertaken in 1913 w h e n two American nurses were sent to Jerusalem. During World War I a medical unit—consisting of doctors,' nurses, sanitary engineers—was dispatched and a cargo of supplies accompanied it by special ship. The unit became the foundation for the Hadassah Medical Organization. In rapid succession Hadassah .expanded its program: Hospitals were opened in the five major cities. A country-wide preventive medical service was set up. At Its peak, 65 Infant welfare stations dotted the country. A nurses training school was established, whose excellence was recognized when New York City granted credit to its graduates. Anti-malaria work was Initiated. The f i r s t anti-tuberculosis h o s p i t a l was established in Safed. School h y g i e n e , luncheon, playground programs were established. Research and teaching facilities and personnel were made available. A Medical Center was opened
