Hadassah Action Events & News


Dear Action members,

This is my last president’s message as I wrap up my two year term as president of the Action group.

Thank you to all of the wonderful women I have worked with over the past two years – it was a pleasure to work together and learn from you all.

Next year’s board members are listed below. As you can see, there are several slots that we still need volunteers for. Please consider volunteering your time and energy to help the many wonderful works of Hadassah.

Please also help me congratulate Julia Kossack on her receipt of the National Leadership Award. Julia has
made numerous contributions to our chapter as well as
our region.

B’Shalom,

Tzipor Ulman

Machon HLA 

We’re ready to get the ball rolling for our next course in Machon HLA (Hadassah Leadership Academy)!  National Hadassah has developed several curricula covering various aspects of Judaism, Zionism, extraordinary Jewish women, even family relationships in the Bible!  7 sessions will cover a curriculum chosen from Hadassah’s offerings.  Participants will also select 3 sessions on a variety of leadership skills.  Machon sessions meet one Sunday morning per month for 2 hours.  Participants take turns leading and hosting.  Machon is a wonderful way to get to know fellow Hadassah members in a more intimate setting, and a great way to refine and develop your leadership skills.  If you are interested in participating, or in coordinating a course, please contact leadershipprograms@hadassahaction.org .

Training Wheels/Wheeling On/Al Galgalim

Al Galgalim is Hadassah’s two-phase Jewish family education program. Training Wheels (for ages 2-5)  is a Hadassah-designed Jewish education program that introduces families to the joys of celebrating Shabbat and the Jewish holidays in a hands-on, pressure-free, friendly environment.  Each session is 1-1/2 to 2 hours, one Sunday morning a month, and includes crafts, music, introduction to the Hebrew language, parenting discussions, and Hadassah-related information.  Wheeling On (for ages K-2nd grade) is the next phase of the program. 

Spaces are filling up fast, so if you are interested, don’t delay!  More facilitators may be needed.  This is a very rewarding volunteer position.  No prior experience is necessary, just a love of Judaism and enthusiasm for the job.  To register or volunteer, contact trainingwheels@hadassahaction.org.  You can also register online here.
