Daniel Jusidman, a Mexican Israeli hardware magnate, has donated NIS 200 million ($68.5 million) through his family foundation to help establish what will become Israel’s largest — and he hopes best — rehabilitation hospital, Jusidman told eJewishPhilanthropy last week ahead of the official announcement on Monday.
The Jusidman Rehabilitation Hospital, as the new facility will be called, will be run by the Reuth Association, which has maintained a public rehabilitative hospital in Tel Aviv’s Yad Eliyahu neighborhood for 65 years. As part of an arrangement with the city, the Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital, as it’s currently known, will leave its current location and move to a new area being developed on the site of the old Sde Dov airfield, just north of the Tel Aviv port.
