LABORS OF LOVE: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF HENRIETTA SZOLD
In Person: March 22 | Virtual: March 23-29
Henrietta Szold was one of the most influential Jewish American women of the 20th century, yet her extraordinary story has never been told on film—until now. A pioneering humanitarian and founder of Hadassah, Szold inspired generations with visionary healthcare and education initiatives on behalf of immigrants, the displaced and persecuted, and Jews and Palestinians alike. Peabody- and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Abby Ginzberg presents a welcoming portrait and rich tapestry of this unsung heroine’s amazing life and lifelong mission of service, voiced by actress Tovah Feldshuh.
