Haddash is the women's Zionist organization of America. It was
founded in New York in 1912 and is named after the Hebrew name of
Queen Esther. The organization was concentrating in establishing
medical Institutes in Israel-land. They opened such institutes in
many towns, the famous of them is Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.
Side by side with this activity, the organization also opened
youth villages and schools. Haddash flag is based on the Israeli
national flag with its logo replacing the Magen David. The
stripes are red (probably in order to reflect its role in the
medical field) and the logo is blue.
The logo which can be seen in wikipedia
contains the organization's name in the center of a Magen David,
with its motto arokat bat ami (The Healing of the
Daughter of My People, Jeremiah,8,19-23) above. This motto was
adopted in 1913.
Note that its web site at <www.hadassah.org> show a
new logo but the flag that I saw had the old (?) one.
