YOUNG HADASSAH MAKES HISTORY IN LONDON

The Tower of London illuminated in blue, Hadassah's name emblazoned across the city, and engaging with distinguished global leaders and changemakers—this is what awaited a select group of Young Hadassah Without Borders members during the prestigious events hosted by Hadassah International and Hadassah UK under the theme “Feel History. Make History.”. This wasn’t just an event; it was history in the making. These young visionaries felt the profound legacy of Hadassah, standing where history unfolded and seizing their role in shaping the future. Inspired by the values that have defined Hadassah for over a century, they are turning vision into action—building bridges to peace, advancing global health, and ensuring that Hadassah’s legacy continues to transform the world.

"END THE SILENCE" CAMPAIGN

The #Endthesilence campaign brought together 130,000 signatories to petition against the UN’s silence and inaction in condemning the premeditated rape and sexual violence inflicted on women and children in the Hamas attacks on Israel’s southern villages, and on hostages held captive in Gaza. This was one of the most documented rampages in recent history, and sexual abuse was at the heart of the terror machine that imagined it. Thousands of men and women from 18 countries around the world came together to denounce and protest against the influential international organizations who stood silent despite their own proclaimed mission of ensuring that such acts of violence are banished from the world.

REBUILDING TOGETHER:

Young Hadassah's Global Mission Conference in Jerusalem 2024

Held after the war broke out in Israel, the Jerusalem 2024 Conference served as both a solidarity mission and a catalyst for projects that reveal the real Israel through Hadassah’s lens. Prioritizing Global Pulse, Words for Hope, and Humans of Hadassah, these initiatives remain active and vital in today’s climate. Witnessing Hadassah Medical Center’s rehabilitation work at the Gandel Rehabilitation Center further inspired our mission to continue redefining hope and resilience.

EPISODE 3: THE NEXT ADVENTURE

The New York 2023 Conference was a pivotal moment for Young Hadassah, where we officially launched four key initiatives—Global Pulse, Derech Hadassah, Case for Causes (C4C), and Genetics & Fertility. A highlight was the 'Becoming First Responders' course, equipping members with essential life-saving skills. These projects continue to grow, embodying our commitment to sustainability and ongoing global health impact.

BRIDGING DIVIDES:

A Life-Saving Journey from Jerusalem to New York

In a world often divided by politics, religion, and race, it’s heartwarming to witness the power of unity and compassion transcending borders. At Hadassah Medical Center, two exceptional individuals, Dr. Waseem Mujahed and Olga Davidson, embody this spirit. Their friendship, born amidst the complex backdrop of Jewish and Arabic heritage, has bridged the divide and serves as a beacon of hope and cooperation, driven by a shared passion for saving lives.
