Join Hadassah Magazine on Thursday, March 21 at 7 PM ET for a discussion with award-winning author Francine Klagsbrun on Henrietta Szold: Hadassah and the Zionist Dream, her new biography about Hadassah’s pioneering founder.
At a time of crisis and existential threat for Israel, Klagsbrun, author of several books, including the best-selling 2017 biography Lioness: Golda Meir and the State of Israel, will explore Szold’s belief in practical, pragmatic Zionism as she reveals the person behind the legend.
Considered one of the most important figures in American Jewish history, Szold helped build the infrastructure for Israel’s hospital system, rescued thousands of European children through Youth Aliyah and, through Hadassah, forever changed what it means for hundreds of thousands of women to belong in Jewish America. A recording of the event will be available for those who register. Zoom captioning will be provided. Free and open to all.
