When Maayanei Hayeshua Medical Center held a mezuzah-posting
ceremony for the new maternity ward the event brought
together gedolei hador, poskei halochoh, rabbonim,
public figures, ministers, MKs and ranking physicians.
The mezuzas were posted by the members of the hospital's Vaad
Hahalochoh: HaRav Shmuel Halevi Wosner, HaRav Nissim Karelitz
and HaRav Yitzchok Zilberstein; HaRav Shimon Ba'adani, a
member of Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah, was also given the honor
of posting a mezuzoh.
Hospital Director Dr. Yoram Lever led the rabbonim on a tour
of the new department, pointing out the many special touches
and features, normally found in a hotel rather than a
maternity ward, and designed to allow postpartum mothers to
recuperate as quickly as possible.
Following the posting of the mezuzas, the guests
gathered at the hospital's events hall, where Bnei Brak
Deputy Mayor Rabbi Yaakov Asher introduced the speakers.
"To date over 90,000 yaldei Yisroel have been born in
this holy place, in accordance with the holy Torah: in
purity, under modest conditions and based on halochoh," said
HaRav Wosner.
"In addition to its standards of modesty, [Maayanei Hayeshua]
maintains high standards of medical treatment and strictly
adheres to halochoh, such as in furthering the
longevity of the elderly in accordance with the Torah, making
devoted efforts for another day, another hour, another
breath," he said. He concluded by warmly congratulating and
blessing Hospital President Dr. Rothschild, Director Dr.
Lever and all who have helped Maayanei Hayeshua succeed.
HaRav Yitzchok Zilberstein expressed his pleasure at the
continued development of the medical center, where leading
poskim are consulted along every step of the way.
"Maran Hashevet Levi and Maran Rebbe Nissim Karelitz set
aside significant amounts of time to answer questions, guide,
assist and advise this important place in every way
possible," he said. "Every time a question is brought to
their doorstep they address it without delay and provide the
directors with clear answers all the time, demonstrating that
the place is dear and important in their eyes.
"Hundreds of children are born only in the merit of this
place! While doctors in other places plant despair in
mothers' hearts, here the doctors plant hope and faith in the
hearts of parents, and besiyata deShmaya hundreds of
healthy children are born to happy parents. There is no other
hospital like it anywhere in the world."
HaRav Zilberstein also conveyed HaRav Chaim Kanievsky's
blessings to the hospital director and the directors'
board.
HaRav Shimon Ba'adani also spoke, offering his blessings to
the excellent physicians and management at the medical
center, which makes every effort to allow women to give birth
in modesty, holiness, purity and comfort. He lavished praise
and said that the patients feel a sense of siyata
deShmaya emanating from the walls of the hospital.
The dais was graced with the members of the hospital's Vaad
Halochoh: HaRav Shmuel Halevi Wosner, HaRav Nissim Karelitz,
HaRav Yitzchok Zilberstein, HaRav Yisroel Hager, HaRav Shimon
Ba'adani, HaRav Moshe Shaul Klein, HaRav Yehoshua Horovitz
and HaRav Yosef Hoffner.
Founder and president Dr. Moshe Rothschild, said that since
the hospital's founding, the poskei hador who head the
Vaad Halochoh have made efforts to accommodate questions by
the physicians at the hospital 24 hours a day.
Director Dr. Lever thanked the participants, the rabbonim,
government ministers, Rabbi Ariel Atias (Shas) and Rabbi
Yitzhak Cohen (Shas), MKs Rabbi Porush, Rabbis Gafni and
Rabbi Halpert, Bnei Brak Mayor Rabbi Yissochor Frankentahl
and his deputies, Rabbi Elimelech Firrer, Rabbi Chananiyoh
Cholak, Rabbi Zissman Teitel and many other public figures
who made the effort to take part in the lofty event.
