JUdaica / Zionisim – Lot of 5 pendents of the "Hadassah" organization
Hadassah, the Zionist Organization of Women of America, is the largest Jewish organization and the largest women’s organization in the United States.
In 1912, American-born Henrietta Sold founded the organization. She was so upset by the sight of poverty and disease in Jerusalem that she founded a women’s organization to provide medical aid.
In 1913, the first two nurses arrived in Israel, followed by a full medical team. Today, 100 years later, the policy of equality is still the teachings of Hadassah. Over the years and with the development of the health system in Israel, Hadassah transferred most of its milk drops, clinics and hospitals to the Israeli government.
Hadassah maintained in Jerusalem the two medical centers that are its flagships: the Hadassah Medical Organization in Ein Kerem and Mount Scopus. These two medical centers set the standard for health care in Israel and treat patients of all backgrounds with great compassion.
