Gila Group of Hadassah was an evening group for workingwomen in Pittsburgh. It was founded in May 1978 and began holding regular meetings in September 1978.
Gila Group promoted “commitment, re-involvement, education, common bonds, evening meetings” and targeted women who had previously volunteered with Hadassah but had declined their involvement due to other time commitments.
Group founders include Rosalie Glickman, Shirley Zionts, Ruth Altshuler, Linda Bernstein, Anne Faigen, Betty Hepner, Rosalyn Robin, Greta Hineck, Gerty Newman, Marlene Levite, and Sandra Jacobs.
Gila Group merged with Sinai Group by 2000 and with Hadar Group by 2008.
