Historical Background
Hadassah, a Jewish women's organization, was founded in 1912 by Henrietta Szold with the goal of fostering Zionist ideals in America through education, and to begin public health nursing and nurses' training in Palestine. Mrs. Gisell Herzog of Montreal, on a visit to Seattle, founded the Seattle chapter of Hadassah in April 1923. Early Seattle chapters were named B'not Jacob, (Daughters of Jacob), Queen Esther, and Deborah.
