It's almost Passover! Many of us will celebrate the Exodus at a table where it wouldn't be a Seder if the Four Questions weren't followed by a lively debate and more questions. At Hadassah we ask questions every day. Here are a few questions to consider this year.

How can we best improve our health and stay in shape? 
By registering and joining Hadassah's Walking team and Every Step Counts. Did you know that the region that enrolls the largest proportion of its membership by April 18th will receive a $1,000 reward? 

How can I put my Jewish values into action and build a safer and more equitable world?  By joining Women's Advocacy Day at the Statehouse on May 24th and learning about Hadassah's domestic advocacy agenda.

How do I deepen my connection to Hadassah and Israel? By planning to be at Hadassah's 98th National Convention to learn, laugh, renew old friendships and create new ones. Guaranteed that you will find inspiration around every corner. Following a celebratory Opening Gala Ceremony, Convention Plenaries will feature prominent speakers and experts who will address critical issues of today: Israeli security; Zionism in the 21st century; Gender Equity in Medical Research (GEM); and, of course, an update on Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO). You will meet the new Director General of HMO, and fantastic women who share your values and more. Join me at Convention this summer, and you will return home brimming with ideas and energized to get involved.

As you prepare to celebrate Passover, please remember to collect your Butcherie receipts.  Bring or mail them to me at the HNE office for an easy and profitable grass roots fundraising project. The Butcherie donates a percentage of proceeds back to Hadassah.

Please participate in the variety of cultural and educational programs that we offer. Hadassah provides the opportunities and programs so that each of us can make a difference. 

Thank you for joining me in this important work.

Have a joyous Pesach,
