January 2016, 

Thank you to each and every one of you, our treasured members and supporters, without whose commitment, Hadassah would not be able to do what we do.  Just in the last few weeks, we:
 
*dedicated and opened our state-of-the-art operating rooms in the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Tower at Hadassah Hospital, Ein Kerem,
 
*succeeded in surpassing our million dollar match goal, and
 
*announced a significant breakthrough in stem cell therapy for ALS - Lou Gehrig's Disease.
 
Additionally, many, many new members have joined us due to the membership gifting program. 
But we're not done!  In the calendar of upcoming events, there are programs to teach, inspire, empower, and connect us - to Israel and to each other.  Please join us, and LIKE us on Facebook, too, for the latest news from Hadassah. Visit  http://www.Facebook.com/HadassahSouthernNewEngland.

I look forward to seeing you soon!
Susan Shikora,
President, Hadassah Southern New England

February 2016
Wednesday, 2/24 @ 7 p.m.,  Ellen Golub ,  author of  Psychosemitic  (at Hadassah-Brandeis Institute)
Ellen Golub kidnaps the sharp-tongued Sheyne Sheyndel and her luftmensch husband, Menachem Mendel, from Sholem Aleichem's 1890's shtetl stories and drops them off in contemporary America.

April 2016
Thursday, 4/7 @ 7 p.m., Linda Wertheimer, author of Faith Ed. 
Wertheimer argues for the urgency of teaching religion in our public schools. The attacks on Israel, the misunderstanding of Zionism, and the public nature of our bar and bat mitzvah celebrations necessitates a baseline knowledge of Jewish culture. 

Thursday, 4/14 @ 1 p.m.,  Joanna Rakoff, author of  My Salinger Year 
Keenly observed and irresistibly funny, My Salinger Year is a memoir about literary New York in the late nineties, a pre-digital world on the cusp of vanishing. 
 
May 2016
Alan Lightman, author of  Screening Room (date and time TBD)
 The book is made up of Lightman's present-day investigations in the hometown he left for more academic locales, and his wistful memories of the faded world of a close-knit family and community. 

Janette Hillis Jaffee, author of Everyday Healing (date and time TBD)
 Everyday Healing provides practical guidance for people facing illness, injury, or other health challenges to prepare their heart, home, routines and relationships to take on a major healing effort.

2/24 Ellen Golub appearance
