There is information on social activities as well as service projects and donations to many charities. There are several publications relating to Jewish heritage, family life, and education. Also of interest are the politically-oriented newsletters and publications confound under the headings “Women and Religion,” “Women-Societies and Clubs,” “Hadassah” and “Jews in S.C.”
