Hadassah Helps Everyone

Editorial: It’s a rare day that the Jewish Music WebCenter veers off the topic of music, but given the events in Israel this past month, there is the urgent need. Hadassah is an organization dedicated to healing. They treat all people who come to them. There are so many injured people from this terrible war. They need our help… so I’m linking to Hadassah’s national donation page. If you can help, take a web visit and make a generous donation. Since 1997, The Jewish Music WebCenter has operated without asking for any money– but today we do — and hope you can give to those who will really benefit. Thanks so much, Judy Pinnolis, JMWC Editor.
