After the untimely murder of her father, Hadassah Asa runs for her life in an attempt to allude those responsible for his death. Having killed him for his secrets and finding none, the murderers are now after her. While on the run she meets and joins forces with a handsome stranger who too has a vested interest in Hadassah and the people who are responsible for her father's murder. Now together they must figure out not only who murder him but why they are now after Hadassah. But there is one catch, she feels a strange pull from him that she can't explain. Together, they embark on a journey that will challenge their beliefs and everything that they have come to know about each other and themselves.

National Jewish Book Awards Finalist for the Barbara Dobkin Award for Women’s Studies, 2012.In February 1912 thirty-eight American Jewish women met at Temple Emanuel in New York and founded Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America. This has become the largest Zionist organization in the Diaspora and the largest and most active Jewish women's organization ever. Its history is an inseparable part of the history of American Jewry and of the State of Israel, and the relationship between them. Hadassah is also part of the history of Jewish women in the United States and in the modern world more broadly. Its achievements are not only those of Zionism but, crucially, of women, and throughout this study Mira Katzburg-Yungman pays particular attention to the life stories of the individual women who played a role in them. Based on historical documentation collected in the United States and Israel and on broad research, the book covers many aspects of the history of Hadassah and analyses significant aspects of the fascinating story of the organization. A wide-ranging introductory section describes the contexts and challenges of Hadassah's history from its founding to the birth of the State of Israel. Subsequent sections explore in turn the organization's ideology and its activity on the American scene after Israeli statehood; its political and ideological role in the World Zionist Organization; and its involvement in the new State of Israel in the twin fields of activity: in medicine and health care and in its work with children and young people. The final part of the book deals with topics that enrich our understanding of Hadassah in additional dimensions, such as gender issues, comparisons of Hadassah with other Zionist organizations, and the importance of people of the Yishuv and later of Israelis in Hadassah's activities. The study concludes with an Epilogue that considers developments up to 2005, assessing whether the conclusions reached with regard to Hadassah as an organization remain valid. It considers developments within Hadassah in the 1980s and 1990s, years in which the organization was affected by the significant changes within the wider American Jewish community, specifically the enormous increase in intermarriage with non-Jews and the impact of the so-called 'second wave' of feminism. This extensive, diverse, and balanced study offers a picture of Hadassah in both arenas of its activity: in the land that is now the State of Israel, and in the United States. In doing so it makes a contribution not only to Zionist history but also to the history of American Jewish women and of Jewish women more widely.
Founded to give women a frontline role in the Zionist struggle for statehood, Hadassah, the WomenOs Zionist Organization of America, first sent public health nurses to Palestine in 1913. Despite clashing with other Zionist organizations as it fought to keep control of its own projects, Hadassah grew to be the largest single American Zionist organization in the interwar period. Using original historical documents, Simmons examines HadassahOs roots in the American Progressive movement, and assesses some of the American field-tested projects which Hadassah exported to Palestine including visiting nurses, school lunches, and playgrounds. Hadassah chose each project carefully with a view to developing an egalitarian, democratic Jewish state. Simmons also traces HadassahOs involvement in the Youth Aliyah child rescue movement which saved thousands of youngsters from Nazi-occupied Europe, as well as from the beleaguered Jewish communities of the Middle East and North Africa. In the first decades of statehood, Youth Aliyah education tried to make Israelis out of young refugees from all over the world. Simmons offers a fresh perspective on HadassahOs place in history and shows, for the first time, how American Jewish women played a leading role in achieving Zionist goals and shaping the Jewish state. The book is distinguished by its historical approach, rooted in the analysis of original archival material including publicity brochures, newsletters and correspondence, as well as the contemporary Zionist and mainstream American press. It is intended for students, scholars, and anyone interested in American Jewish history, Israeli history, womenOs studies, Jewish women; the history of voluntarism, philanthropy, public health, social welfare, or child welfare; Progressivism, the history of Zionism and the development of the State of Israel; Diaspora-Israel relations; Jewish organizations; ethnic studies; emergence of the welfare state.

Born in Prague to Holocaust survivors, Hadassah Lieberman and her family immigrated in 1949 to the United States. She went on to earn a BA from Boston University in government and dramatics and an MA in international relations and American government from Northeastern University. She built a career devoted largely to public health that has included positions at Lehman Brothers, Pfizer, and the National Research Council. After her first marriage ended in divorce, she married Joe Lieberman, a US senator from Connecticut who was the Democratic nominee for vice president with Al Gore and would go on to run for president. In Hadassah, Lieberman pens the compelling story of her extraordinary life: from her family's experience in Eastern Europe to their move to Gardner, Massachusetts; forging her career; experiencing divorce; and, following her remarriage, her life on the national political stage. By offering insight into her identity as an immigrant, an American Jew, a working woman, and a wife, mother, and grandmother, Lieberman’s moving memoir speaks to many of the major issues of our time, from immigration to gender politics. Featuring an introduction by Joe Lieberman and an afterword by Megan McCain, it is a true American story.
I started seeing myself as a "bride of Christ in a white dress; it was beautiful. He said, "Your eyes will be open and you will see." My eye were opened and I saw into all of the beauty and wonders of the heavenly realms. This book is about my journey of walking in the ways and wonders of the Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy ghost. Jesus is working in all of us. We must be willing to allow Him to be "fully King over our lives until we mature as sons of God. In Jeremiah 33:3 it says, Call on to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things. Which thou KNOWEST not. My prayer is that this book will open your desire to see and be all He has for you.
One day in early spring, Hadassah befriends a honeybee, a very sad and hungry forager, named Beatriz. To help her new friend, Haddie convinces her parents to plant flowers to feed the bees. In the ensuing months, Haddie's family converts their entire lawn to a flower garden that sustains Beatriz and her sisters throughout the growing season. Hadassah and her family are rewarded with a bit of bee wisdom and an abundance of food from the vegetable garden. In addition to the delightful story, Hadassah and the Honeybees provides a colorful compendium of plants that will nourish and sustain our apian friends.

An eerie silence enveloped the room like a winter mist cloaking the moon. The old group was reluctant to speak of the hell that had unfolded here-in The Cove-while the new group preferred to remain ignorant. However, one painfully thin, nameless girl stood up from where Jennison continued to lean against the wall; it was impossible to tell if she was alive or dead. As the nameless girl stepped forward, everyone took a step back, making space for her as she prepared to reveal the secrets of The Cove. She approached Hadassah and Alice, who stood close together, gripping each other tightly. Terror had settled deep within their souls, and it would linger there indefinitely. The girls braced themselves to hear what they already knew they would regret ever learning.
