The “Yoms” of April
Jewish Family Services
By Patricia Johnson, President,
Charlotte Chapter of Pladassah
April for us is a time of re
membrance; our community ob
serves Yom HaShoa,
Remembrance Day, to honor and
mourn the too many we lost in the
Holocaust and Yom Hazikaron to
remind us of the price and sacri
fice made by many to defend Is
rael.
This month also brings us a
sense of rebirth as we celebrate
Yom Ha’Atzmaut. We have much
to celebrate as we see Israel
emerge as regional power, a mod
em, flourishing democracy
against the odds of being sur
rounded by hostile regimes in all
sides. Just as Israel lives
up to the challenge to cre
ate something magnificent
so can we. Philanthropy
can be our magnificent
challenge.
Giving connects us to
projects we may never see
through to the end and al
lows us to enrich the lives of oth
ers who we may never meet.
Giving creates a bond through the
enrichment and experience of
those in need. These experiences
can be seen and heard throughout
Hadassah from its legacy to sup
port the State of Israel to building
hospital towers, Hadassah Aca
demic College, Youth Aliyah Vil
lages and local community
programs. Hadassah is about hope
and help.
