Shaare Zedek Heart Patient runs First Jerusalem International Marathon
On March 25th, 2011, Shaare Zedek staff members ran in Jerusalem’s first ever international marathon. They were joined by Joshua Strahl who had undergone a complex cardiac procedure at Shaare Zedek only months prior. Mr Strahl had spent 21 days in the hospital following his procedure and said that as recently as Yom Kippur he was not able to walk more than a few steps at a time.
“When I crossed the finish line I had tears in my eyes,” Strahl recalls. “I had tears because I remembered what the staff at Shaare Zedek told me in the early stages of my recovery. They said that this was a blessing and that I would come out of this stronger. I never would have believed them at the time, but at that moment as I completed the race, I knew they were right.”
Emunah Hassin ob'm
The Australian Friends of Shaare Zedek note with great sadness the passing of their dear friend Emunah Hassin.
Emunah served as Shaare Zedek's director of External Affairs and visited Australia several times. Her vibrant personality, her warmth and her dedication to Shaare Zedek endeared her to everyone she encountered.
May her family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
