This torch came from Israel and will be returned to Israel.

From Jerusalem it traveled to the United States.... and here, A TORCH WILL pass from Hadassah chapter to Hadassah chapter around the country, and will be returned to Israel at Convention 2012.

We Pass the TORCH - from member to member, from leader to leader, from mother to child- from generation to generation…

...to symbolize the healing and loving, peaceful light that Hadassah brings to Israel...

...to symbolize the illumination Hadassah sheds on America...

...to symbolize the vital life force Hadassah brings to the people of the world...

...to symbolize friendship between women and friendship among nations...

...and to symbolize the family of Hadassah...we lit a torch.
