Senior Hadassah Hears Convention
Report From Mrs. Joseph Strauss

gathering was taking place in
serious mood and within our
hearts there was mourning and
weeping for the loss of two most
/ illustriouS men in American life
and no deliberations could be be-
gun without first paying tribute
to them-whereupon Mrs. Edward
Jacobs gave the I'm Memoriam"
for Louis D. Brandeis and Mena-
hem Ussishkin. Being a fine
speaker and having known these
two men well, Mrs. Jacobs gave
very beautiful short biographical
accounts of their lives, bringing
out their courage, determination
and passionate devotion. to their
people and to justice.
A message from the President
was then read, in which he
praised Hadassal's record of
humanitarian endeavor" and a.
chievements in the fields of health
and child welfare and called for
a mighty effort to repel the wave
of degenerate barbarity which has
temporarily engulfed so many
countries The women of Hadas-
sab can assist in many other vital
ways to fortify the bulwarks of
democracy in the world wide
struggle to defeat the cohorts of
tyranny"
Following this a welcome adj
dress to the delegates to Pitts
burgh was extended by the Mayor,
Cornelius D. Sculley.
In bringing greetings from the
Zionist Organization of America,
Judge Louis E. Levinthal, newly
elected President, made a plea for
support of Palestine by American
Zionists and non-Zionists alike
and stressed the responsibility of
Americans as spokesman for Jews
in all parts of the world
In her official address, opening
the business session Thursday
morning, Mrs. Pool read a cable
from the Palestine Council of Ha-
dassah, announcing that woman's
auxiliary battalion to stand be-
hind the 1000 Jewish soldiers in
the British army, is now being
formed. Mrs. Pool then presented
the three point program that was
to be discussed and considered
during the convention.
A three point program was later
approved by the convention. These
are:
/ 1. Extension of emergency
health work in Palestine to give
maximum of aid to the British
and Jewish forces and to the CIV
ilian population.
2. Expansion of American and
education projects to aid in de-
Tense Of democracy.
3. REORGANIZATION of Pales-
tines place in the postwar world.
She continued by saying that we
must strengthen our relations
with the Hadassah family and we
must achieve a goal of 100000
members, who will express love
and dedication for Miss Sold and
for those who are no more, Bran
deis and Ussishkin. She called
upon leaders of HadaSsah to car
ry on in these trying days to a.
chieve and surpass the goal set.
The latter part Of the morning
session was devoted to the Jewish
National Fund, and we had the
pleasure of hearing from DR..
Israel Goldstein, President of the
]. N. F. Council of America.
Mrs. Strauss report was re-
ceived with a burst of applause
from the audience.

of the Jacksonville chapter of
Senior HadaSsah and official dele
gate to the national convention
recently held in Pittsburgh, gave
a very comprehensive and inspir-
ing report of that event at the
regular monthly meeting held
Wednesday afternoon in the audi
forum of the Jewish Center. Mrs.
Strauss presided over the meeting
and called for regular business.
Mrs. 81 Sobel, Jewish National
Fund chairman, addressed the as
semblage on the need and work of
]. N. F. and announced that there
will be a blue box collection this
Sunday morning conducted by
members of Junior and Senior
Hadassah, including the Business
and Professional Women's Divis-
ion.
Following the business session
Mrs. Strauss report of the con-
VentlOn was heard.
In opening her remarks Mrs.
Strauss said:
In anticipating the National Ha-
dassah Convention in Pittsburgh,
1 looked forward to the inspira-
ton and excitement that accom-
panies the gathering of many
delegates from all parts of the
country. Having attended the
convention last year in Cincinnati,
I did not really expect to again be
able to experience the thrill one
gets from the first realization that
one is an integral part of a move
ment of such magnitude move
ment that brings over 1900 dele
gates and guests together to
participate in the deliberations of
the problems facing us today. But
there I was, thrilled to the very
innermost and thanking you for
again giving me the opportunity
of attending a national conven-
ton.
The keynote of the convention
was voiced by Mrs. David de Sofa
Pool, national president: I'm our
line of struggle we shall have but
one goal-the defeat of Hitler"
I know that the two other dele
gates, my mother, Mrs. A. Pagan
and Mrs. Archie Puldy were very
deeply stirred by the actual con-
tact of a national convention and
it was a source of great comfort
to me to know, that they felt, as
1 did, an incapacity Of absorbing
as much as was presented in the 5
day period s~~-~s&A~
The registration rooms were vi
brant with activity and excite
ment as we entered to register.
1t was good to see again the many
women whom had met the year
before and to exchange greetings
and chapter plans. And what was
also good to see was our name,
the Jacksonville Hadassah chap
ter, on the honor roll for fund
raising and membership.
The convention opened formally
Wednesday night at the Carnegie
Music Hall, the largest auditorium
in the city of Pittsburgh, with
seating capacity of $500. When
we arrived practically every seat
downstairs and in the two bal
comics was taken and shortly af-
forwards the hall was jammed
with standees as well. The session
was called to order and the invo-
cation given. Mrs. Moses Ep-
stein, convention chairman greet
ed the assemblage briefly and
then turned the chair over to Mrs.
David de Sofa Pool, National Pres
ident, who was wildly applauded
by the huge audience. In her re-
marks, Mrs. Pool stated that this
