What a night. 🥃

Selling out in just 25 minutes and drawing an overwhelming waiting list, our 4th Annual Whisky Tasting was one to remember.

Together, we raised over $140,000 in support of prostate cancer research at Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

A huge thank you to our hosts, Debbie and Warren Kimel, and our Event Co-Chairs, Brad Krawczyk, Meyer Mechanic, and Randy Masters, whose vision and dedication helped make this event possible.

We are also deeply grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Kaelen Sherman, whose support honours the legacy of Honey and Barry Sherman z”l, our Lead Sponsors The Reichmann Family, Marika Glied in memory of Bill Glied z”l, Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg, and Vaultie, and all of our generous bottle sponsors, donors, and guests.

Together, we are helping advance prostate cancer research and ensuring Shaare Zedek can continue saving lives, delivering lives, and changing lives. 💙

When the sirens began during the war with Iran, the midwives of Shaare Zedek didn't run for shelter, they ran toward the hospital.

Within minutes, working alongside IDF Home Front Command soldiers, they moved an entire birth ward from the 9th floor to a protected underground space. For 40 days, they worked below the surface. 1,600 babies were born.

Not one delivery was missed.
Not one mother was left alone.

Shaare Zedek is here.
Through war, through sirens, through 40 days underground
Saving, delivering, and changing lives. 💙🕊️

🚨After nearly six weeks of operating a fully functioning underground hospital, Shaare Zedek Medical Center is beginning its gradual return to normal activity, following updated guidance from Israel’s health authorities.

More than 400 patient beds were relocated underground. Thousands of patients were treated. And over 1,600 babies were safely born, protected from the threats above.
Now, departments including maternity and delivery rooms are moving back to their original spaces, marking a hopeful step forward while remaining ready for anything ahead.
As Prof. Ofer Merin shared, even in the most challenging days, the hospital’s teams continued to show extraordinary strength, compassion, and dedication.

Because even in times of uncertainty, we continue to change, deliver, and save lives 💙🇮🇱

Here’s to the people, care, and breakthroughs that keep us moving forward.

This World Autism Awareness Day, one story is helping change thousands 💙

Last month we received a transformational $530,000 USD gift from an anonymous donor that will advance autism research at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, supporting the groundbreaking work of Prof. Adi Aran.

This kind of generosity shows how one story can make a real difference and go on to help so many others, giving hope for a better future. We’re truly thankful to our anonymous donor for making this possible.

Am Yisrael Chai 💙
