Labors of Love delves into the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Henrietta Szold, one of the most influential, yet under-recognized, American Jewish women in history. A visionary leader with an extraordinary blend of logistical brilliance and hands-on dedication, Henrietta played a pivotal role in shaping Palestine's healthcare system while providing refuge and healing to thousands of young Holocaust survivors through her leadership of Youth Aliyah.
