The Western New England Region of Hadassah

Brucha ha'ba'ah! Welcome to the Western New England Region of Hadassah! We are 4,200 members and associates who live and work in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and we volunteer our time with the largest women's, largest Jewish, and largest Zionist organization the United States. The Region's mission is to serve the ten chapters in our geographic area. We achieve that by providing education, training, sisterhood, and a positive, proactive outlet for our love of American Jewish life and Israel.

Come on in and navigate our web site to see just how many opportunities there are for you to explore. Our chapters offer something for just about everybody: health education, Hebrew classes, political advocacy training, book and video discussion clubs, current events programs, and Israeli dancing. We are also growing special interest groups, such as the Physicians' and Nurses' Councils, in which these medical professionals meet with and learn from their counterparts from Hadassah's world-class hospitals in Jerusalem.

If you are not already a member, please join us. Give us a call at (413) 445-5509 or email us at wner@hadassah.org and will be happy to direct you to a chapter near you.
