Love of Israel Woven into Fabric at Hadassah Fashion Show - Atlanta Jewish Times

What better way for Hadassah Geater Atlanta (HGA) members to celebrate Israel than to hold a Fashionably Fall Fashion Show, Luncheon and Silent Auction on Sept. 15 just as the New Year holidays are set to begin! This multigenerational event was such fun for 100-plus members and guests. The models were often from the same families. Thanks go to Fox’s for their beautiful clothes in the latest fabrics, colors and styles for women of all ages. More than 90 donors and sponsors contributed items to the silent auction which raised funds for Hadassah’s entire mission. Thanks also go to Berman Commons for providing their beautiful venue.Love of Israel is woven into the fabric of Hadassah. Israel has become an international center of fashion and design. Tel Aviv has been called the “next hot destination” for fashion. Israeli designers show their collections at leading fashion shows, including New York Fashion Week.

Today Hadassah’s programs promote a deeper understanding and connection to Israel, while Hadassah’s advocacy efforts support Israel’s security, a future of peace in the Middle East and stronger U.S.-Israel relations. Hadassah laid the groundwork for Israel’s health care system, and Hadassah has always taken on the challenge — and the joy — of connecting generations of young Jews to Israel. Hadassah also advocates for the rights of Jewish people around the world and fosters partnerships between Israel, Hadassah and the American Jewish community.

Terry Nordin and Rosalie Agrow, presidents of HGA’s Metulla and Ketura groups, who chaired the event, explain, “Our goal is to educate, inspire, and motivate our members through events such as our fashion show to support Hadassah’s hospitals in Israel and our advocacy programs for women.”

“As Zionists, Hadassah puts Jewish values into action to create community and ensure an enduring Israel. We cultivate these values in future generations and work passionately to create a strong Israel for all of us,” says Simone Wilker, HGA Advocacy Chair.
