Centennial Torch Events

Run for Hadassah—Centennial Torch Run

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.

This torch came from Israel and will be returned to Israel. From Jerusalem it traveled to community...and from here A TORCH WILL pass from Hadassah chapter to Hadassah chapter around the country, and will be returned.

Start your own virtual Torch Runing team.

There are 2 ways to participate in passing the Torch:

1. Check with your local unit to see if it is holding an actual Torch athletic event. Many are having a Torch run, bike--a-thon, mall walk, 5k. Be sure to cut out the Torch from the template, carry it in your actual event and send photos to: frosenberg@hadassah.org so that we can include your photo on the Torch Map as we watch it virtually cross the country.
2. If there is no local event but you want to "run for Hadassah, you can create your own Friend to Friend Passing the Hadassah Torch fundraiser page.
