On June 17, Hadassah France hosted a concert featuring a harpist and violinist, followed by a cocktail at the residence of Israel’s Ambassador to France, His Excellency Daniel Shek; on June 24, 1500 people attended the unit’s “humorist soirée,” showcasing four famous comedians at the Casino de Paris Theater.
During the June 17 reception, sponsored by Bank Leumi, Ambassador Shek told the guests about his respect for Hadassah Hospital, explaining that each time he has been asked to organize a visit for foreign politicians in Israel, he sends them to Hadassah because it completely changes their point of view of the reality in Israel.
The comedy soirée, co-sponsored by the France-Israel Foundation, included a raffle, featuring airline tickets, hotel stays in Israel, a Christian Dior handbag, and an LCD television screen.
At both events, the musicians and comedians performed gratis.
