Expressing gratitude — in prayer, song and charitable acts — is central to Judaism. This makes Thanksgiving perhaps the most Jewish of secular holidays. With Thanksgiving approaching, as we reflect on the things for which we are grateful, connecting with our Hadassah community is certainly something to appreciate.
In the spirit of gratitude, consider sharing Hadassah with friends and family. During this time of anxiety and isolation for so many, a gift membership to Hadassah provides connection, comfort and community. It's the perfect gift to be given — and enjoyed — without leaving home. Gift a membership now at hadassah.org/HanukkahIsHere.
Tel Aviv graffiti talk: Join Elinoy Kisslove, Tel Aviv-based graffiti artist and activist, for an illustrated talk about the vibrant street art scene in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Tomorrow, November 19, 3 pm ET.
