Dear friends,

September is a time of new beginnings; children return to school, adults return from vacations and we all anticipate the coming of new beginnings and a New Year.  We have another month to prepare for the Holidays, but at Hadassah we are ready to begin the season with some great programs. 

The Hadassah office and dedicated volunteers have been busy planning our Opening Program with the distinguished Dr. Rachel Schonberger on Sept. 26 th , as well as other interesting and educational programs for Hadassah women and Associates. Join us for any of our upcoming events described in this newsletter.

Hadassah is an extraordinary organization that supports Israel, Hadassah Hospital, medical research and domestic advocacy for women's equality. Thank you for all the ways you help Hadassah Boston succeed. There are many opportunities for you to be involved and help develop the projects and programs that interest you. 

In keeping with the times, we are using email to communicate with our members, so please ask your family and friends to send their email addresses to hne@hadassah.org , so that they can stay connected.  

B' shalom,
Varda
