Welcome to Hadassah Chicago-North Shore, where women across the greater Chicagoland area come together to make a tangible difference in our world. Together, we are advocating for women and families here in the US and in Israel, healing and saving lives through supporting Hadassah’s hospitals in Israel, furthering our Jewish learning, growing our leadership skills and nurturing one another.
Regardless of your age or life stage, there is a place for you to feel at home among our 11,000 members and 16 chapters. Together, we are making miracles happen. Take a look at what we’re doing and join us today.
