Are you Smiling on the Outside...
But Dying Within?
Domestic abuse is about one
partner trying to control the other.
It can be as obvious as a slap or as
subtle as an insult. It can include
humiliation and bullying, control
of finances, isolation from friends
and family, violence and more.
Up to 25% of all Jewish
women, teens, and even some men
are currently in abusive situations.
Leam how to help and get help
at www.shalombayit-nc.org.
Shalom Bayit-NC is working to
end domestic abuse in our Jewish
community by raising awareness,
offering education and providing
services to people suffering at the
hands of intimate partners. Call

Charlotte Chapter of
Hadassah: A Message from
the President
By Hadas Kasher
Dear Community Members,
February is special month for
Hadassah. It is the month in which
our organization was founded, and
it is also the month when the
founder of Hadassah Henrietta
Szold died. At age 84 on February
13, 1944, Henrietta Szold died
at the Rothschild Hadassah
University Hospital. Her funeral
was attended by some of the tens
of thousands of Youth Aliyah chil
dren whose lives she had touched,
as well as countless others whose
lives she changed and re-charged.
Sadly, she did not see the end of
World War II; more sadly, she did
not see the creation of the State of
Israel or witness the pain and joy
of its birth. But she laid a rock-
solid foundation for us, for the
future of the organization, for edu
cation in the infant state, and a
health plan which would meet the
post war needs of Palestine’s peo
ple and an “anticipated flood of
war refugees.”
More important the actions
which her dreams demanded con
tinued despite enormous responsi
bilities piling on top of one anoth
er. Hadassah, in 1945, at war’s end
with the American Friends of
Hebrew University, began a $4
million fundraising campaign to
build the Hebrew University -
Hadassah School of Medicine.
Hadassah made success happen
then and now. Our February pro
grams are a great example of
how Hadassah is a major player
in supporting Israel and in our
local community. From Carmel
Renewal Operation to our “Ask
the Doctor,” Hadassah volunteers
offer you an opportunity to make
a difference in your life and oth
ers. ^
