Hadassah, August 12, 1976
I'm delighted to welcome the National Board of
Hadassah (Ha-da-sah), and I look forward to· meeting each of you personally. I know what a hard-working and fine organization Hadassah is, and I share your special areas of interest: he~ith, education and child welfare.
Your humanitarian efforts are so inspiring. Your magnificent medical work in Israel has saved countless lives and helped build bridges of communication between peoples. I'm so impressed with the many medical facilities for healing and teaching that you support.
Your involvement with young people in Israel and
America has strengthened both countries. I especially admire your efforts to preserve Jewish heritage and culture, because religious faith is so important in the lives of individuals and nations.
The President and I have been honored by being recognized in the Bicentennial National Park in Israel---which is also one of your interests.
You are doing so much to help others, and I feel a special bond with you and your work.
I'm so glad you came today.

Ms. Pat Howard. The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Ms. Howard:
We are very pleased to deliver herewith:
1. Copy of "Balm in Gilead'' by Marlin Levin, which is the story of Hadassah' s v.10rk in Israel.
2. A silver "Iredallion coined to CODIIBIDrate the rededication of Hadassah' s Mt. Scopus Hospital. Cererronies for this rededication were attended by IIDre than 2000 Hadassah menbers fran the United States in October. 1975. The medallion signified both the historic role of Mt. Scopus in Jewish history and the work of Hadassah in rendering health service to people of all nations and creeds.
This hospital opened in 1939. The building WclS designed by the world-famrus architect, Eric Mendelsohn. It became the forerrost Medical Center in the Middle East and served allied military persormel during World War II.
In 1948, after the massacre of 78 Hadassah doctors, nurses and other persormel on the road to Mt. Scopus, Hadassah was forced to evacuate the hospital. However, an Israeli police force was stationed there during the 19 years which followed. In 1967 Mt. Scopus was repossessed by Hadassah. Follow.i..ilg this it became necessary to rebui.ld the interior of the hospital in order to meet tiDdem standarq.s of "Iredical practice and treat::rrent.
This hospital serves both the Arab and Jewish population of Jerusalen. You will be interested to know that 60% of the children in the pediatrics depart:IIEnt are Arab children. In addition, Arabs come across the bridges and borders to receive treat::rrent at Hadassah Hospital since it is the IIDst sophisticated medical center in the entire Middle East. Patients come fran K.tw.rl.t, Syria, Egypt and other states which do not recognize Israel.

Postgraduate Fellowships: Since 1946, the program enabled hundreds of Hadassah physicians, nurses and hospital administrators to receive specialized training in the U.S. and Europe. Research Projects: Hadassah provides "seed money" funds to initiate research in virtually all areas, mak ing it possible for projects to merit grants from YOUTH AUYAH governments, institutes, foundations. Through this youth immigration movement, under -~Jr the auspices of. the Jewish Agency in Israel, Hadassah ·.- has helped resettle and rehabilitate in Israel nearly 155,000 Jewish youth from 80 lands. Since 1935, Ha dassah has been contributing not only large amounts of money for maintenance and education, but con tinues as a major contributor for special Youth Aliyah HADASSAH projects which it undertakes from time to time. Founded in 1934 by Recha Freier and other coura SUPPLIES geous Jewish leaders in Germany, and by Henrietta FOR Szold, founder of Hadassah, who became its director in Palestine, a post she held until her death, Youth HEAliNG Aliyah has since then "graduated" tens of thousands.

HADASSAH ISRAEL EDUCATION SERVICES Hadassah's model education system is continually being updated, as it has since it began over 30 years ago. The recent restructuring and expansion has created a multi-level comprehensive education net work encompassing the latest theories of secondary and community college career-oriented schooling. The restructured Hadassah Comprehensive High School/Seligsberg-Brandeis results from a merger of the Hadassah Alice Seligsberg Comprehensive High School and Brandeis Vocational Training Center. Together with the 2-year Hadassah Community Col lege, located in the new Joseph and Caroline Gruss Building, both schools are based, physically, in the former enlarged, renovated Seligsberg and Brandeis complex in jerusalem. The standard-making Hadas sah Vocational Guidance Institute stays on in the Straus Health Center. Now fully consolidated: the boys of Brandeis and the girls of Seligsberg go to a four-year co-education al school, with a student capacity of 1,000. Technical classes are in the former Brandeis area, academic in Seligsberg. Throughout, emphasis is on enriched vocational and academic studies.
• Through the Jewish National Fund Hadassah has par ticipated in the reclamation of tens of thousands of acres for farming and industrial sites. Much of this land has been prepared for settlement by immigrant families, enabling them to earn a livelihood as they expand Israel's agricultural development. An integral partner in JNF work since 1926, Hadas sah has provided more funds for land projects than any other single organization in the world. Every three years Hadassah embarks on a specific JNF commitment. Currently in Tefen, in upper Galilee, a rocky wilderness near the sensitive Lebanese bor der, JNF- with Hadassah's aid- will build a new, modern industrial center. This will provide jobs in an updated environment for families who must be come economically much more viable if they are to be less vulnerable. There will also be a very im posing Hadassah Plaza in the Bicentennial National Park to mark an enduring bond between Israel and the United States. In this park there will be one-mil lion trees to create an area where every recreational service, a forestry museum, observation gallery and hall of honor will be a green oasis of friendship forever. Just completed was Hadassah's "Green is Beautiful" project for the towns of Shderot, Netivot and Ofa kim. The project immediately before this called "Guardian of the Desert" was at Beer Tsofar. Hadassah has also provided funds to plant millions of trees. It continues, in addition to tree planting throughout the land, to help reforest the Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center sites at Ein Karem and Mt. Scopus.
