Installations/Invocations back to top
Each Installation should be adapted to meet your particular ceremonial needs. It 's important to personalize your installation and to stay something special about each woman you are installing. As the installing officer, you should speak with both the outgoing and incoming Presidents prior to the event to prepare some remarks about each woman and the chapter. An installation will be most effective if it has warmth and local color.

Engagement through Zionist and Jewish Education and Advocacy
The Education & Advocacy Division provides resources and services to support units and empower members. Education is focused on teaching and engaging Hadassah members through programs and resources units can use, modify and/or share with their community. Advocacy is about mobilizing supporters around our policy priorities at local, state, national and international levels. You can find out more about what we do on the website on the Israel & Zionism page and the Advocate & Take Action page. Leaders can also find more information on myHadassah under Education and Advocacy and especially on the two-page document in the file library below called Engagement Through Zionist/Jewish Education and Advocacy.
See the file below, Engagement through Zionist and Jewish Education and Advocacy, for a full description of how unit leaders can use E&A Division's programs and services to engage and empower members.
