A Towering Day in Jerusalem
 The doors to the magnificent Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower opened March 19th to welcome the first patients. The Tower will be formally dedicated at our Centennial Convention on October 16. Before the patients arrived, a celebratory—and stirring—Moving In Day Ceremony was held in the elegant three-story glass-enclosed atrium that serves as the main entrance to the Tower. Hadassah National President Marcie Natan presented the key to the Tower to Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat. Read more and watch a Moving In Day video.

100 WAYS TO WEAR YOUR KEEPER OF THE GATE PIN
 How do you wear your Keeper of the Gate pin? The men's pin (many Associates are Keepers) is worn on the lapel, but women have many more options. Pin it on the shoulder of a suit jacket, or use it to hold a scarf in place around the neck. Pin it the upper—or lower— sleeve of a jacket. Wear it on a long chain, or on an omega close to the throat.
However you wear your Keepers pin, it signifies that you understand the need for an annual gift to Hadassah to continue our lifesaving care and research at Hadassah Medical Center, and our life-enhancing projects in Israel and at home.
