Vote in the World Zionist Congress 2025 US Elections
Until May 4, elections are being held for delegates to the 39th World Zionist Congress. American Jews over 18 can vote, and we encourage all to do so, as the results of this election will have a significant impact on Jewish people around the world. Your vote helps guide how funding flows to Jewish communities in Israel and in the diaspora. With antisemitism and anti-Zionism continuing to rise, this election is an invaluable opportunity to speak out and stand up for what you believe in

Kissing Girls on Shabbat: A Memoir by Sara Glass
Growing up in the Hasidic community of Brooklyn’s Borough Park, Sara Glass knew that what was expected of her and what she desperately wanted were impossibly opposed.
Tormented by her attraction to women and trapped in a loveless arranged marriage, she found herself unable to conform to her religious upbringing and soon, she made the difficult decision to walk away from the world she knew.
Sara’s journey to self-acceptance began with the challenging battle for a divorce and custody of her children, an act that left her on the verge of estrangement from her family and community. Controlled by the fear of losing custody of her two children, she forced herself to remain loyal to the compulsory heteronormativity baked into Hasidic Judaism and married again. But after suffering profound loss and a shocking sexual assault, Sara decided to finally be completely true to herself.
Hadassah’s BookTalk book club meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7pm. Join us on Zoom and share your opinions about the month’s book. If you would like to attend or have questions, contact Karen or Aileen.
For your advance planning, our book for Tuesday, April 22 is The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave.
Happy reading!
About 15 years ago, some Hadassah ladies were looking for good ideas for a membership activity. They came up with making frozen prepared meals for JFS clients. We are still making those meals today. Each pantry day, food is collected from members and assembled into meals. 120-150 meals are made a month. Special holiday meals are prepared for Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, Passover and Thanksgiving. The clients are so appreciative. This provides a very unique opportunity for JFS to give their clients a complete meals.
If you would like to get involved in this mitzvah, you can help in many ways. Prepare food, donate supplies (sandwich and gallon sized bags), meal containers, gift cards to grocery stores, money donations, etc.
Please email June Hirschmann for further information.
