Hadassah's 99th National Convention: #MissionPossible

From Global Impact to Personal Inspiration, Our #MissionPossible Recap Captures It All

When nearly 1,000 women and men from around the country gathered in NYC for Hadassah’s 99th National Convention, they made one thing clear: Our members and supporters make Hadassah’s #MissionPossible.

In these Convention videos and photos, you'll find thought leaders, US and Israeli officials, Hadassah innovators, live music, a reproductive rights rally, and moving photos of our members learning, inspiring, leading, dancing and more.

Explore some of the most powerful moments from four days packed from early morning to late-night. Watch. Be Inspired. Share.
