Welcome to Hadassah Southern California! I am proud to represent an organization that gives women the opportunity to make a difference in the world where making a difference is very hard to do on your own. Because of Hadassah, lives are saved every day. We are committed to making a difference in our local community, the US and in Israel, and I invite you to join us.
COVID-19 and its Impact on the American Jewish Community - As Dr. Windmueller has written, this pandemic is having a profound, transformative impact on Jewish life and culture and community. What are likely to be the long term implications of this moment?
Did you know all of India’s first leading ladies were Jewish? Shalom Bollywood: The Untold Story of Indian Cinema tells the story of the 2000-year-old Indian Jewish community and its formative place in shaping the world’s largest film industry. Please watch the film on Amazon or Netflix prior to the meeting and join us for a fun conversation.
Join us for a presentation with Historian, Performer and Costume Curator Ellie Carlson as she unveils facts and expose myths about women’s unmentionables. The presentation includes stories from real women past and present and their amusing and sometimes uncomfortable relationship with their foundations.
