Stated Purpose
"to inspire a passion for and commitment to the land, the people and the future of Israel."
Hadassah the Women's Zionist Organization of America (Hadassah) aims to enhance the health and lives of people worldwide through education, advocacy, and youth development, and its support of medical care and research at the Hadassah Medical Organization. In Israel, Youth Aliyah villages provide housing, education, and support to disadvantaged Israeli and immigrant youth. Hadassah also collaborates with others to build parks and reservoirs, make parks disabled-accessible, and support reforestation projects. In the United States, Hadassah members are engaged in a variety of education, advocacy, and community service initiatives. Educational programs include women's health and wellness programs for heart health, breast cancer, stress reduction, and monthly online physical activities; book groups; professional council gatherings; and women empowerment initiatives. Hadassah members strive to help shape public policy through advocacy work on issues, including U.S.-Israel relations, combatting antisemitism through education, women's health equity, infertility, civic engagement, and issues related to the Jewish community.
