Dear Friends
Each night of Hanukkah, we use the shammash, or helper candle, to light the other candles. It is displayed more prominently than the other candles, but it is no more important. Like the shammash, the Hadassah Foundation’s primary role is to provide the fuel that enables others — our grant recipients — to shine, advancing gender equity in Israel and the U.S. Jewish community.
While the shammash lights eight candles, the Hadassah Foundation currently supports more than 20 organizations that are building a brighter future for women and girls.
Your generous year-end gift to the Hadassah Foundation is like the match that ignites the shammash. It will enable us to ensure our grantees have the resources they need to address today’s many challenges.
Wishing you a Happy Hanukkah,
Ellen S. Steinberg, Chair
Stephanie Blumenkranz, Director
and The Entire Hadassah Foundation Board & Staff
