Public activist, educator and literary editor
Mother’s Day on the 30th of the month of Shevat, whose name was changed to "Family Day", was determined in her memory, because in the eyes of many she was considered the mother of all the boys and girls who immigrated to Israel from European countries as part of the youth aliyah under her management.
Following a conference she initiated in 1912, which was attended by 38 Zionist women, the Hadassah Zionist Organization was established and later also the Hadassah organization.
She led the establishment of hospitals

During one of her visits to Eretz Israel, she joined a Brit Shalom group that was looking for new ways to negotiate between Jews and Arabs.
Her name is immortalized in many places, Kfar Szold and Givat Ham in the north of the country, schools, institutes, a youth village and streets around the country.
Our streets have a special charm.
They reflect history and a culture of values and heritage.
As part of the week "in full exclusion" we will ascend to the miracle of inspiring women who have gained recognition and appreciation by naming a street after their name.
Today, not many streets in the city are named after women, and the municipality is working to rectify the situation: last year, the municipality commemorated more than ten women - artists, creators, social activists, women and spirit, and read about streets and public institutions across the city.
