Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, announces Suzanne Patt Benvenisti as the next executive director of its Israel offices.
The US Jewish organization, which fundraises for community programs and health initiatives in Israel and campaigns for women’s rights and religious autonomy, says Patt Benvenisti has joined as current executive director Audrey Shimron’s deputy, and will “represent Hadassah’s interests in Israel and oversee the staff of fundraising and other professionals.”
In January, she will take the helm as Shimron steps down and becomes executive director emeritus after 40 years at Hadassah.
Patt Benvenisti’s background includes decades of work in social and health care policy, child welfare, youth programs and nonprofit management.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
