Lauder wins Hadassah's Henrietta Szold Award
for his philanthropic work.
he president of the Jewish
National Fund has earned
Hadassah's highest honor
for his philanthropy in
European Jewish communities.
Ronald S. Lauder, who also chairs
the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations, received the Henrietta
Szold Award on July 16 at the 86th
national convention of Hadassah, the
Women's Zionist Organization of
America.
Hadassah's former national presi-
dent, Carmela Kalmanson, presented
the award to Lauder for his work in
rebuilding the Jewish communities of
eastern and central Europe.
She announced Hadassah's new
Ronald S. Lauder: Looking for our
Roots Scholarship Fund. The endow-
ment formalizes Hadassah's program
of assisting students, many of them
Sephardic or Ethiopian, to travel
from Youth Aliyah villages in Israel to
sites in Poland and Prague,
Czechoslovakia. The purpose is to
deepen the students' understanding
of European Jewish life and its virtual
destruction in the Holocaust.
Introducing Lauder, Kalmanson
said: "The man we honor this
evening has taken up this mantle of
full-tiine personal responsibility to
rescue the physical, spiritual and cul-
tural remnant of Jews living in east-
ern and central Europe."
"Mr. Lauder," Kalmanson said,
"the leaders of Youth Aliyah are hon-
ored to have your name linked with
Hadassah as together we will contin-
ue to teach future generations of
Jewish children how precious is our
heritage [and] that we must continue
to be one people with one heart."
The Henrietta Szold Award recog-
nizes a person whose humanitarian
ideals and
beliefs reflect
those of
Hadassah
founder
Henrietta
Szold. The first
recipient in
1948 was
Eleanor
Roosevelt;
other honorees
Ronald Lauder
have included
Elie Weisel,
Jeanne
Kirkpatrick and Yitzhak Rabin.
Lauder noted that Szold o"created
an organization that greatly impacted
upon American Jewry and the people
of Israel. That organization,
Hadassah, continues to be a leader."
Hadassah members make a differ-
ence, he said. "You changed the
world and you are true leaders."
Since 1926, Hadassah has con-
tributed $50 million to the JNF,
ranking as its largest organizational
donor. Earlier this year, Hadassah
committed $3 million to build the
Tirza reservoir in the Jordan Valley.
"JNF leads the campaign to help
Israel meet one of its severest chal-
lenges — the water crisis," Lauder
said. "The women of Hadassah have
proudly raised their hands and said,
Hineni
here I am.'" ❑

Senior Programs Funding Awards
The Community Foundation for
Southeastern Michigan awarded Jewish
Apartments and Services (JAS) $35,000
to support its Computer Connection
and Assisted Meal Service programs.
The Computer Connections program
teaches older adults basic word-process-
ing skills, use of the Internet for research
and sending e-mail. The $10,000 grant,
given from the Elizabeth M. Wight
Fund of the Community Foundation,
expands the program from serving 200
.
to 350 senior adults.
The William M. and Mary E. Pagel
Fund of the Community Foundation
also awarded $25,000 to the Assisted
Meals Service program, which enables
special-needs individuals to gain voca-
tional skills in a real work setting. They
are the wait staff for JAS residents who
have become too frail to stand in a meal-
service line for daily meals. The jobs help
participants to build self-confidence,
leading them to a more independent life.
