Overview
Welcome to Hadassah Northern New England, home to 20 chapters and over 8,000 members. Bridging many different geographical locales, we are home to Western and Upstate New York, as well as the New England states of Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Taking advantage of our new world of virtual technology, we have found ways to close the distances between us and create an active, engaged community of women working together to further Hadassah’s lifesaving work in the US, Israel and around the world. This past year, our region welcomed Hadassah National President Rhoda Smolow to our Annual Giving program and raised funds, together, for Hadassah’s COVID Emergency Fund and for our Youth Aliyah villages in Israel.
We also hosted a virtual Hadassah Shabbat across the region, bringing chapters together online to plan Shabbat services and share Hadassah’s story in communities throughout the region. Our chapters work tirelessly and imaginatively to create programming to engage our members and support Hadassah’s projects in Israel and the US. We bring this collaborative approach to the many programs and projects we plan all year long – both online in person. We would love to include you in this effort. Join us today.

Region President
Welcome to Hadassah Northern New England, which has expanded over the years to include Western and Upstate New York. Our winters may be cold, but our hearths and our hearts are warm, filled with love and compassion for each other and for the people of Israel.
