Worship with Hadassah

Hadassah Rhode Island is sponsoring a Shabbat service on Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Temple Torat Yisrael, 1251 Middle Road, East Greenwich.  Rabbi Aaron Philmus has coordinated with the members of Hadassah Rhode Island to offer a meaningful service for Shabbat Zachor, to honor and celebrate the 103rd anniversary of the founding of Hadassah by Henrietta Szold. Shabbat Zachor was chosen because of its particular importance to Hadassah, provider of medical care in Israel to patients regardless of race, religion or nationality, and in international disaster relief.  

“Hadassah is an organization which inspires passion for the land of Israel, the health and wellness of people worldwide, and Jewish education. Hadassah Shabbat will celebrate and connect our many goals and missions back to their origin, the Torah,” explains Hadassah National President Marcie Natan. 

Hadassah Shabbat Zachor will strengthen old memories of these teachings while welcoming new connections during the celebratory and reflective time of Purim.

All members of the community are invited to worship with Hadassah.  For further information, please contact Hadassah at 401-463-3636 or at rhodeislandchapter@hadassah.org.
