  • Jerusalem Netletter: Independence Day
  • I'd like to take this opportunity to honor our physician soldiers. One aspect of life in Israel is that in addition to putting in long days treating patients and doing creative research, a large percentage of our physicians are officers in the IDF. They continue to serve in Reserve Units until their fifties.
  • General Surgery B Moves in The Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower
  • When Brenda Godfrey and her husband decided to make Aliya some 35 years ago, the UK born couple already had two grown up daughters. They packed their things into 12 suitcases, gave them to their daughters and said they will meet them in Israel. While the daughters flew with the baggage, the parents drove from London through France and Italy to Naples. From there they crossed the Mediterranean on a ship with their car to Haifa port, and drove again to the absorption center in Mevaseret Zion – their first home in Israel.
  • Young Judaea Moves Closer Toward Operating Independently
  • NEW YORK – Young Judaea inked an agreement this week that positions it “a short time away” from becoming an independent organization, the youth movement said today in a joint announcement with Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, which has been its parent and sole sponsor since 1967.
