Where: Temple Israel
What: N’Aaseh V’ N’Ishma* – We Will
Do and We Will Listen
Who: All Charlotte Hadassah Members
Why: To Learn, To Do a Mitzvah and To Be Together
*When the Children of Israel stood at Mount Sinai, G-d asked them if they would accept the
Torah, with all of the laws and rules it contained. They replied “we will do and we will listen.” From
this we learn that Judaism is about actions and not just studying or intentions. Hadassah women
have always been ready to act as healers and supporters of the Jewish people, both here and in Israel.
