Hadassah Rediscovered

Hadassah Neurim’s Director Nachum Katz was so moved by his visit to the Hadassah National Convention in Washington D.C. in the summer that on returning to Israel he introduced a course on the history of Hadassah.

“I think that the staff and students at Hadassah Neurim tend to take Hadassah and the Jewish Agency for granted,” he explained, “so I have started a course which sets out how much these organizations have done for Israel and World Jewry.”

Katz was accompanied on his trip to the US by Lena Poline, an 18 year-old new immigrant from the Former Soviet Union and a star student in Hadassah Neurim’s National Youth Center for Athletics Program. At the National Convention Katz, Poline and Leah Reicin, Hadassah National Board member and Youth Aliyah Chair, gave a workshop on Hadassah Neurim and the importance of Youth Aliyah.

“The response to the workshop was incredible,” stressed Katz. “Since returning to Israel I have already been visited by Hadassah delegations from Chicago and Philadelphia and they are determined to raise money for us.”
