Hadassah’s commitment to Zionism is woven into the fabric of who we are.
Strengthening Zionism — the Jewish people’s connection and commitment to our historic homeland of Israel — is at the core of Hadassah’s mission. Amid escalating anti-Israel sentiment, we need to amplify women’s voices as thought leaders, educators and advocates in support of Zionism and Israel now more than ever.
From a study group over 100 years ago, Henrietta Szold helped launch the healthcare system in Israel and a legacy of engaging women throughout the US. Today, Hadassah promotes programming to deepen our understanding of and enhance our pride in Zionism. Our advocacy efforts support Israel’s security and a strong US-Israel relationship and further Hadassah’s commitment to healing the world.
What does it mean to be a Zionist today when conversations around it can be so polarizing? Hadassah proudly supports Israel while creating spaces – especially in cross-generational women’s conversations – to explore the complexities of identity, peoplehood and what it means to be a Zionist. Hadassah also offers members opportunities to experience Israel in unique and communal ways through our curated trips that show a side of Israel only Hadassah can bring you.

Now more than ever, Israel needs our support. Join us as we collectively raise our voices to combat anti-Zionism and to advocate for Israel’s security and on other issues important to the Jewish community. Hadassah speaks out against efforts aimed to tarnish and delegitimize the State of Israel. We also carry on our rich history of actively promoting the expansion of critical US-Israel medical partnerships.
