Hadassah Metulla Group Installs Officers for 2026

Hadassah Greater Atlanta’s Metulla Group installed its 2026 officers at a Chanukah celebration and brunch on Sunday, Dec. 7. In addition to wonderful food and friendship, participants took a virtual tour of Hadassah’s Youth Aliyah Villages with Michele Rubin, Hadassah national chair youth Aliyah.

The installation, conducted by Hadassah Greater Atlanta President, Terry Nordin, took participants on a tour of the Gates of Jerusalem, linking each of the eight gates to the roles of Hadassah leadership.

Nordin encouraged members to, “Look towards Jerusalem for inspiration. Jerusalem, the heart of Israel, is home to hundreds of thousands of people and spiritual home to millions. Hadassah’s projects and programs in Jerusalem and around the world enable people to benefit from Hadassah’s work.”

Incoming co-President, Lara Rush, spoke about the power of connection that Hadassah provides and co-President Mindy Cohen highlighted the many accomplishments of the Metulla group. Present were several past presidents of the Metulla group: Susan Linkwald, Michele Weiner-Merbaum, Nancy Schwartz, Anita Otero, and Nordin.

Today, Hadassah is 300,000 strong, across the country and across the generations, proof of just how big an impact Hadassah can have when bringing philanthropy and women’s leadership together. Hadassah believes that each of us has the power to heal our world. That means bringing healing – in every sense of the word – where it is needed most, in the U.S., Israel and around the globe. For more information, go to www.hadassah.org.
