Hansen's hospital - past and present
Situated in what today is one of Jerusalem’s most affluent neighborhoods is an architectural treasure: the hansen hospital which appears on the list of buildings intended for preservation under the auspices of the society for preservation of Israel heritage sites (t.b.a [city building plan] 2097).

Established in 1887 by the city’s protestant community as the Jesus Hilfe Asyl (jesus help asylum), it was designed by conrad schick, a german missionary and self-taught architect. The spacious two-story building was set in a large, walled compound containing four water cisterns, a vegetable garden, fruit trees and livestock, and was designed to be self-sufficient. Each floor had access to its own toilet via a bridge.

The Memorial Museum Of Hungarian Speaking Jewry
Tucked away in a small garden opposite the Yigal Allon Cultural Center, you will find one of the hidden gems of Safed. A museum dedicated to the lost communities of Hungarian Jewry.

Hungarian Jewish Life
Jews lived in Hungary for over 1000 years until the community was devastated and destroyed in 1944 during the Holocaust. However, despite this devastation, the Museum is dedicated to the life and times of Jews in pre-war Hungary, as well as to the community's resistance during the Occupation, and focuses very little on the destruction of the community.

Jordan River Village, Israel - the place in the Middle East where children with serious illnesses can just be kids.



Mission:

By creating free, fun-filled, memorable, empowering, medically sound and safe camping experiences, the Jordan River Village enriches the lives of children of all ethnic and religious backgrounds in Israel, who suffer from a chronic or life-threatening illness.

The Camp:

The Village’s 60-acre, wheelchair-accessible campus in the Lower Galilee of Israel is the only camp of its kind in the Middle East. Open year-round, the Village can accommodate up to 64 campers during each session.

JRV has everything expected at a children’s camp: 12 bright and comfortable camper cabins, a communal dining hall, theater, sports center, arts & crafts building, a specially heated and treated pool, library, petting zoo, adventure tower, and more. The Village also has a state-of-the-art, yet unobtrusive 24-hour medical center.



Children who visit the Village have the experience of a lifetime. They leave their illnesses at the door, and participate in the broad range of camp activities enabling them to have fun, succeed, come together, and discover new things. In addition, campers meet other children who face challenges similar to their own, and make life-long friends, and circles of support.

Jordan River Village continues to welcome and accommodate sick children to the Village and expand its activities with other entities.
