Hadassah ‘s young leaders visited the Hadassah-Neurim Youth Village. The village, located near Netanya, is jointly owned by the Jewish Agency and Hadassah Women's Zionist Organization of America.
The leaders met with new immigrant athletes who live, learn and participate in Neurim’s unique sports program. The Hadassah women from Nassau County, New York, USA brought a gift for Lena Polin, the javelin champion who participated in the Hadassah women’s meeting in Washington, DC this past summer.
Hadassah Neurim director, Nachum Katz, noted the impact the short visit had for the participants. The leaders visited the "Mishpachton Rayim" and met with youth and international volunteers. During the visit, the leaders surprised Mira, whose birthday was the day of their visit.
Many of the young leaders returned home resolved to further assist the youth villages in general and Hadassah-Neurim in particular.
