Originally a response to the Holocaust in the early 1930s, Youth Aliyah saw its mandate as rescue and education. At age 15, our own Seattle member Ruth Fast, who is now 100 years old, was one of thousands Youth Aliyah rescued and brought to then-Palestine, where she was met on the shore by Hadassah founder Henrietta Szold.  Coincidentally, Beloria Levy, a Child Life Member, was 15 when she baked, donated, and delivered a birthday cake in Ruth’s honor for her 99th birthday in August 2019.  Watch the party here.

Understandably, Ruth is so appreciative to Hadassah’s Youth Aliyah -- she chose that project when she signed up for Annual Giving (click here for brochure).  Annual Givers provide a significant, reliable source of funds to support the ongoing costs of Hadassah’s projects that also include Young Judea scholarships, medical research, and whatever is considered the greatest need at the time.  Does one project call out to you?  While Seattle’s recent Gala raised funds to make a one-time purchase of a Nurses’ Station, Annual Giving is an ongoing yearly commitment to give to your designated project.  Please join me in signing up for the virtual Annual Giving event on Sunday, August 15, sponsored by Hadassah Southern California and Pacific Northwest Region.  This is a thank you program for those who already are Annual Givers (77 in Seattle Chapter) and an opportunity for the rest of us to get started by joining with a minimum $180 commitment.   Click here to register.

Thanking you in advance,  Ettie Davis

She gave us 3 recipes (Mexican Salmon Burgers, Hawaiian Tofu Kabobs, and Sweet Potato and Bean Salad) that sounded amazing!  I'm not a cook, but these recipes have me excited to try them!”—Marci Nemhauser

“Jamie is an enthusiastic chef. She had great explanations, She was responsive to questions in the chat-and supplied substitutions to make these recipes receptive to all.  I felt so comfortable in “her” kitchen and she was an excellent instructor.  Thank you for this program.”—Participant
