You know the name, now meet the woman who changed history. Henrietta Szold was a powerhouse who didn’t just found Hadassah—she saved 11,000 children from the Nazis while in her seventies!
Labors of Love reveals the full, breathtaking scope of a woman who broke barriers, fought for justice, and redefined what it means to be a leader. From editing for the Jewish Publication Society to championing night schools for Russian immigrants, her life was a non-stop mission of compassion. This outstanding documentary finally gives Szold the spotlight she deserves.
Come celebrate a legacy of courage that continues to inspire generations of women today.
