Specifically designed to educate adult women, it is an interactive, experiential workshop to acquaint you with issues facing adolescent Jewish girls today and to provide an introduction to the work of the Foundation.

 

This program is adapted from one chapter of a curriculum for young teens created by the organization Moving Traditions with grants from The Hadassah Foundation.
