Hadassah Rehabilitation Hospital ~ Mt Scopus
The story begins with the extraordinary Henrietta Szold. During a trip to pre-state Israel, Henrietta’s view of the world changed. In 1909, she saw Jews living in camps without proper plumbing or sanitation. Horrified by the impact starvation and disease had on her people, she took action.
Returning to America, Henrietta founded Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America in 1912. She devoted the rest of her long life to the health and well-being of her people and what was to become their Jewish homeland. The results of her “practical Zionism” can be seen today in Hadassah’s two world-class hospital campuses in Jerusalem and the youth villages she founded to save the children who left their homelands as the Nazis invaded Eastern Europe.
More than 100 years later, we are proud to advance Henrietta’s legacy. We empower women to put their values into action. We continue to build a strong community in the US and Israel. And, in 2005, Hadassah Medical Organization earned a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for bringing advanced medical care to all, regardless of race, ethnicity or nationality, in essence creating a bridge to peace through medicine.
Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America, was founded before Israel was a state and before women could vote. We didn’t sit on the sidelines then. And we certainly don’t now.
Today, we’re 300,000 strong, across the country and across the generations, proof of just how big an impact we can have when we bring philanthropy and women’s leadership together.
For 100+ years, Hadassah has worked proactively to find and implement solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing each generation. Together, we’re advancing women’s health, supporting a strong Israel and instilling Jewish values in future generations.
We’re helping women find their voices to advance health equity, and fighting hate and antisemitism in the US, and modeling shared society in Israel. Thanks to the medical system in Israel we helped create, new treatments and scientific breakthroughs are saving lives around the world.
