CANADIAN HADASSAH-WIZO

HEBREW UNIVERSITY:
Canadian Hadassah-Wizo has made an important contribution to the cultural
and academic life of Israel through its association with the Hebrew University.

THE CHAIM WEIZMANN MEMORIAL BIOLOGY SCIENCE BUILDING has been
built and equipped by Canadian Hadassah-Wizo.

CANADA HALL, a lecture ‘hall and auditorium seating 400, was the first buil-
ding to be established on the new campus in Jerusalem and was the first
building in Israel to bear the name of Canada.

VINCENT MASSEY HALL of the Jewish National and University Library, built by
Canadian Hadassah-Wizo and dedicated on February 11, 1962, during the 19th
Biennial Convention, is the most recent contribution of the organization and
honours the former Governor General of Canada, the Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey.

During the 19th Biennial Convention held in Israel, the new project for the Heb-
rew University was :launched; namely the establishment of a DEPARTMENT IN
CANCER RESEARCH. A research fellowship is being granted to a Canadian
working in the specific field of cancer research, selected by the Canadian
Cancer Society.

MEDICAL SERVICES:
The Medical Services program of Canadian Hadassah-Wizo assist the:

MAGEN DAVID ADOM (Red Star of David) in providing a blood donor clinic
and fractionation center at Jaffa and in building a First-Aid Station at Kfar Saba;

POLIO REHABILITATION CENTER AND HYDRO-THERAPY POOL (at Sarafand).
Canadian Hadassah-Wizo is the sole agency in Canada for polio rehabilitation
in Israel; has built a hydro-therapy pool and rehabilitation center at Sarafand.

The temporary HOSPITAL at Eilat bears the name of Canadian Hadassah-Wizo.

HADASSIM:

The children’s and youth village of Canadian Hadassah-Wizo, Hadassim, was
established in 1947 and is today one of Israel's showplaces. It has distinguished
itself by showing what a school can be like when modern educational methods
are adapted to the needs of a pioneering country. The teaching program is
highly progressive and all subjects are taught by the project method. Agricul-
tural training is part of the curriculum at this modern school, where children are
housed in small family units. Proof of the high regard in which the school is
held is the fact that a Government-sponsored seminary for rural school teachers
has been established at Hadassim.

NAHALAL:

The Chana Meisel-Shochat Agricultural School at Nahalal was established in
1921 by WIZO and taken over by Canadian Hadassah-Wizo in 1926. It is a com-
plete, scientific, agricultural training school for girls and boys and today boasts
over 2,000 graduates, most of whom are distributing the knowledge and training
they received at Nahalal to agricultural settlements throughout the country.
Canadian Hadassah-Wizo, in sponsoring the school, has been a worthy pioneer
in the great work of agricultural training, which is fundamental to land deve-
lopment and the future of Israel.
