An extraordinary birth took place this week at Hadassah Mount Scopus.
Ruhama, 24, gave birth to a healthy baby boy at the same hospital where she herself was born prematurely, weighing only 495 grams.

Twenty-four years ago, Ruhama’s mother developed severe pregnancy complications, and senior obstetrician Prof. Simcha Yagel delivered Ruhama by c-section at 24 weeks. She spent six months in the NICU and was discharged weighing 2.4 kg.

This week, the family came full circle as Ruhama gave birth to her first child, with Prof. Yagel, who had stayed in touch over the years, present at the delivery. The family described it as an emotional moment and “a true healing” of the difficult birth decades ago.

Prof. Yagel shared: “I followed her through life’s milestones and was honored to support her during this pregnancy. The delivery was smooth, and seeing her healthy baby—six times her birth weight, was deeply moving.”

Ruhama’s father added: “This birth felt like a real closure to the birth from 24 years ago. Ruhama is recovering, and we are overjoyed to welcome our first grandchild.”

Admitting Patients from Soroka

The Hadassah hospitals in Ein Kerem and Mount Scopus, currently operating in emergency mode under the directive of the Ministry of Health and the Home Front Command, are preparing to receive patients from Soroka Medical Center, which was damaged in this morning’s missile attack.

This patient transfer is made possible thanks to intensive efforts at Hadassah to prepare the hospitals for scenarios involving mass casualty intake. This includes discharging patients who do not require hospitalization in order to free up capacity.

Hadassah is working in full coordination with the authorities and is ready to admit patients into protected areas as needed.

15/06/2025

On Friday night, under a real and present threat, Hadassah’s hospitals opened two underground complexes with 240 inpatient beds.
Dozens of staff members mobilized at lightning speed.
Patients from every department—children, infants, and ventilated critical-care cases—were transferred safely. Our teams worked with speed, precision, and a humanity beyond words.

From the very start of the war, we prepared for this moment:

Mount Scopus: an advanced, fully equipped subterranean hospital was built in the new Gandel Rehabilitation Building.

Ein Kerem: operating rooms function four floors below ground, enabling surgery even during missile attacks.

Prof. Yoram Weiss, Hadassah CEO:
“We activated the complexes within minutes. Teams rallied instantly, and everything ran in flawless order, driven by a deep sense of mission.”

Even in the toughest days, we will continue to heal, protect, and preserve human life.
