In 1916, Minnie Goldman and Mrs. Newfield formed a Hadassah Chapter in Saint John and took the name of Israeli heroine Henrietta Szold for their chapter. This became part of a national organization to support better health, education and social welfare for women and children in Israel. It became the most active and recognized of the Jewish organization. The ladies who participated conducted numerous fundraising activities including teas, raffles, art shows, calendars, gift cards, thrift shops and bazaars. Several ladies became leaders in this organization at a national level. Two regional conferences were held in Saint John in 1956 and 1989.11
