A Message from Hadassah
Although we no longer have an active Hadassah Chapter in Spartanburg, we would still like to wish everyone a happy Pesach, joyous Seders, and lots of matzoh.
Best wishes to all.

We hope everyone is having a great Chanukah with plenty of latkes and are basking in the warm glow of the candlelight.
This is a season of giving to those less fortunate. It is hard to imagine living with hunger and without warm clothing or a warm place to sleep. We would like to encourage you to donate to what- ever charity you choose. Performing a mitzvah is one of the best ways to feel good about yourself and the recipients are very grateful.
Stay warm and see you around the temple.

Dear Friends,
Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America, Inc., mourns with the entire Jewish community today. We are devastated to learn that on Shabbat, at least 11 of our brothers and sisters were murdered. The gunman who entered the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA screamed, “all Jews must die”, as gunfire rained down on members of the congregation who had gathered for morning Shabbat services. Our hearts go out to all who have been affected by this tragedy, especially our members in the Pittsburgh area. We are deeply saddened by the presumed loss of Daniel Stein, the husband of Sharyn Stein, Membership VP of Hadassah Greater Pittsburgh Region. Our deep gratitude goes out to the first responders, four of which are among the wounded. We pray for their full recovery. According to a report by the ADL, anti-Semitic incidents and attacks have risen by 60% in the United States in the last year alone. This shocking escalation in hate both at home and abroad requires swift and broad action by our leaders. As members of Hadassah, we must continue to stand strong against anti-Semitism and hate wherever it is present. As the NGO (non-governmental organization) convener of the Never Again Education Act, Hadassah members have a unique role to play in ensuring this bill becomes law. Head to our National Action Center now to take action on policy priorities that matter to you, including this bill that would expand Holocaust Education and anti-hate curricula. When one life is taken all our lives are affected in common grief and conviction to make the world a better place. May we go from strength to strength. B’Shalom,

The harvest season is almost upon us and while we are grateful for all of our good fortune, there are many who are suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. It would be a blessing to make a donation to those in need at this time because the need is great and will be for some time to come.
See you around the Temple.

There will be no Hadassah meetings for the months of August or September. However, on Saturday, October 6, we will be sponsoring the Sabbath Tisch to give Hannah Keen one final opportunity to prepare for her Bat Mitzvah. One of the main principles of Hadassah is to promote education for women, so we felt it was appropriate to provide the Tisch at this time. Do join us that day for a minyan and some delicious food afterwards.
We wish everyone a joyous holiday, and we’ll see youaround the Temple.
