Our Annual Keepers of the Gate celebration to honor your commitment to Hadassah will look a little different again this year. Join us for a unique virtual Keepers of the Gate event where we get to experience a docent-led tour of the dazzling Chagall Windows located in the Abell Synagogue at Hadassah Hospital. Every magnificent pane depicting the 12 Tribes of Israel is a representation of Chagall's world, both real and fantasy, and his love for the people of Jerusalem. We will be joined by Barbara Sofer, Israel Director of Public Relations and Communication for Hadassah, as she speaks on being an "Eye Witness to Hadassah Miracles."
