The thirteenth annual convention of Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, will be held this year at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Atlantic City, June 23-25, according to an announcement from the national headquarters. The 32,000 members will be represented by 500 delegates from thirty-six states.
Hadassah will also participate in the convention of the Zionist organization, which will be held in the same place on June 26-28. The Junior Hadassah, which has 10,000 members, will convene on June 28-30.
