Good morning Lizards. This weekend we hosted a most inspiring guest for Shabbat. An Israeli gentleman whose wife, 21 years ago, gave birth to triplets (natural, not IVF induced). Two of the babies were healthy, but the third had cerebral palsy. This man has dedicated the rest of his life to seeking the best treatment for cerebral palsy patients in Israel. He has already established a special hospital in Jerusalem, and invites specialists from all over the world. Patients receive treatment, therapy, and for children from large families, there is daycare with dedicated therapists on site 24/7.

The purpose is to find the best and most up-to-date treatment for this disability, and enable patients to live happy, fulfilled and independent lives.

The organization is Tikvah Layeled.
