Program from a Hadassah Luncheon in 1948



I actually remember my Mother attending this donor luncheon of Hadassah at the (gasp) WALDORF! May be of interest to only a few, but it demonstrates how, even then, the Adath Israel sisterhood. was involved in helping the founders and settlers in Israel. This luncheon is quite important historically as:
On May 14, 1948, on the day in which the British Mandate over Palestine expired, the Jewish People's Council gathered at the Tel Aviv Museum, and approved a proclamation, declaring the establishment of the State of Israel...
Just 38 days following this luncheon.
