This week's Shabbat Message
Only in Israel By Sandi Kaplan
I was recently back in Israel to help my mom who is recovering from a complex leg break and surgery. I went right from the airport to the geriatric rehab facility at Laniado Hospital in Netanya. The place was bustling -- patients were hanging out in the dining room or on the big balcony (with a view of the Mediterranean!), tea and cake were being served, and lots of visitors were there. They don’t have specified visiting hours, as they want patients and their families to feel at home. My mom introduced me to her favorite staff members and lots of hugs were exchanged.
