Supporting Life-Changing Medical Care and Innovation in Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center
Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem has announced a transformative $200 million gift from The Koum Family Foundation, the largest single philanthropic donation ever made to an Israeli hospital.
The gift will help fund a new 24-storey medical tower, expanding Shaare Zedek’s capacity to provide world-class, compassionate care for generations to come.
As part of this historic partnership, the hospital will be renamed Koum Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
Professor Jonathan Halevy and Mr Akiva Holzer will visit Sydney and Melbourne from late May to early June 2026.
Professor Jonathan Halevy has called on our Australian community to help support the new Silber Centre for Mental Health Care at Shaare Zedek – a lifeline for those suffering the trauma and anxiety of today’s crisis. Your support will bring healing and hope.
The Australian Friends of Shaare Zedek transform lives through medical innovation. Our commitment to excellence, ethics and compassion brings the miracle of Jerusalem’s Hospital with a Heart to the Israeli and Australian communities.
We share the best of contemporary medical initiatives between Israel and Australia to promote healthcare initiatives across international boundaries. Our focus is on developing, supporting and promoting innovative health initiatives.
