The Jewish people will soon celebrate the tri-millennial of the establishment by Xing David of Jerusalem as our eternal capital. Hadassah's first presence in Jerusalem was the welfare station established in 1913. Today all of our medical facilities, the most advanced in the Middle East, our College of Technology and our Career Counseling Institute dramatically illustrate Hadassah's extraordinary and ongoing impact on the city of David and on all of Israel. We provide shelter from the ravages of disease and physical misfortune. Through our Israel Education Services we help Israelis from all walks of life find meaningful and gainful occupation as we steer them away from the hardships of unemployment. Youth Aliyah has helped hundreds of thousands of young Jews from around the world escape despair as they learr. :o become caring, committed and productive citizens. Here in our own community we face the problems of homelessness. poverty and domestic violence. Getting involved in Hadassah also gets you involved in American Affairs projects that have relevance to you as a woman, as a human being and as a member of our community. We cannot be silent observers, because that may lead to our being innocent victims. We need to act on our beliefs, validate our values, and become participants. The Chapter will be selling Entertainment Books this year. If anyone is interested in purchasing an Entertainment Book through Hadassah, contact Jeanine Rappaport at 656-8534.
