H
adassah House in West Bloomfield has
reopened for member events. The building has
been closed for gatherings due to the COVID-
19 pandemic and related health and safety protocols.
During the past two years, Greater Detroit has suc-
cessfully held region events both virtually and at other
locations throughout the community.
“Hadassah House has been closed for almost three
years and since Hadassah is all about connection, the
closure has been very hard for us,
” said Mandy Garver,
president of Hadassah Greater Detroit. “It is fitting that
the first events since the reopening have included the
installation of new officers because they signal new
beginnings.
”
The first event was the well-attended Dec. 20 instal-
lation of Hadassah Greater Detroit’s 2023 executive
board, which was combined with a joyous Chanukah
celebration.
“It was so nice to be back in Hadassah House and be together in person,
” said Allison
Berlin, incoming programming vice president of Hadassah Greater Detroit.
Hadassah House in West Bloomfield
reopens for in-person events.
