Rosenblum, Sandra Lee Kahn,

Founded in the U.S in 1909 to support Zionism and the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, Young Judaea (YJ) is the oldest Zionist youth movement in the United States. Sponsored by the women's Zionist organization, Hadassah, Young Judaea encourages Jewish youth (through clubs, conventions, camps, Israel programs, etc.) to become involved in social and educational activities and develop a sense of Jewish and Zionist identity.

The first Young Judaea chapter in Charleston, SC, known as the Hannah Szenesh Club, was organized in 1945 by Mrs. Solomon L. Goldfarb. In 1947, the club was renamed the Henrietta Szold Chapter. The Cecile Rubin Chapter of Young Judaea formed in Charleston in 1950.
