Seattle HadassahAs I begin my role as President, I envision baking a 2019 “Hadassah Cake” with as many of you as possible getting your hands in the mixing bowl. I am a team player. I totally believe that if you can just take ownership of doing a job, no matter how big or small, you will be invested in its success and it will make a difference in your life. As a leader (In my leadership role), I am counting on you helping me to translate this vision of success into reality.
The cake we are baking is a CEO Cake:
Collaborative—a shared recipe; Cohesive—planned to last the whole year-long; Continuous—building on past cakes.
Enjoyable—fun to work on; Educational—putting together what you already know; Energizing—bouncing ideas off each other.
Opportune—happening at just the right time; Optimistic—spending time doing things that make a difference in others’ lives as well as our own; Open-hearted—connecting with other women in Hadassah.
Once the 2019 cake is baked and frosted, across the top we are writing:
“Be the CEO of Your Life: Hadassah Thrive Series”.

We will spend the evening with Hadassah life member Karen Gorrin – a mind body researcher, psychotherapist, and cancer survivor. Karen will guide us in an exploration into the subtle symptoms we experience in our bodies and the intersectional influences of gender, communication, delayed diagnosis, genetics, and the potential impact of these factors on health outcomes. We will touch on various women’s health concerns and Karen will share the critical role subtle symptoms played in her and her mother’s diagnoses of ovarian cancer. |

Called “The most comprehensive Zionist collection ever published,” Professor Troy’s book examines Zionism through six lenses, each corresponding to a school of Zionist thought: Political, Revisionist, Labor, Religious, Cultural, and Diaspora. Through the text, readers will become familiar with more than 170 Jewish and Zionist thought leaders, thinkers. and Book club members will have the opportunity to discuss and reflect on what Israel and Zionism mean in the context of their daily lives. Equally as exciting, Troy, who served as the scholar in residence for Hadassah’s Milestone Mission to Israel last year, has generously offered his book to Hadassah as a fundraising opportunity. For a $30 donation to Hadassah, members will receive a copy of his text, along with a faceplate signed by the author. Click here to make your donation and receive your copy of The Zionist Ideas.
