Stories of Success and Support from the ALYN Hospital Community
January 2025

A NOTE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
January is often seen as a time for fresh starts. Many people set resolutions or seek ways to make positive changes in their lives and the lives of those around them.
At ALYN Hospital, we offer a new beginning of a different kind. We help our patients and their families navigate difficult circumstances and discover ways to improve their quality of life. For example, we assist children facing eating challenges and provide the tools and guidance they need to make meaningful progress. We are committed to empowering every patient we serve.

ITAY HELPS IDF AMPUTEES
PUT ON TEFILLIN
ALYN Hospital’s PELE Innovation Center and Sheba Medical Center collaborated to develop a device that brings renewed hope. It allows upper-limb IDF amputees to fulfill the halachic requirement of putting on tefillin by themselves. This device empowers these heroes with independence and reaffirms their spiritual connection and identity. It also highlights how technology can profoundly impact lives by restoring cherished traditions and enhancing personal dignity.

THE START OF YOUNG LEADERSHIP
We’re excited to announce that we are launching AFAH Young Leadership.
This exciting new initiative will help us raise awareness of the incredible work being done at ALYN Hospital with the young professional community. We also hope to engage more young people in the vital work of American Friends of ALYN Hospital.
