An Evening of Resilience, Innovation and Hope in LA
Last week in Los Angeles, American Friends of Sheba Medical Center‘s “We Will Rise Again” Gala attracted nearly 700 guests in a powerful display of resilience, innovation, and hope. The successful event secured vital funding for Sheba’s National Pediatric Mental Trauma Center.
Several key representatives from Sheba Medical Center shared unique insights during the evening. Yoel Har-Even, VP of Global Affairs, emphasized the institution’s integral role in Israel’s national fabric. His message also focused on the Israeli spirit of resilience, the imperative for continuous innovation, and the enduring hope that defines the nation’s character.
Prof. Itai Pessach, Director of the Edmond and Lily Safra Children’s Hospital shared his insights from Sheba’s response to the aftermath of the October 7th events and the medical center’s efforts for receiving, treating, and rehabilitating returning hostages.
Dr. Ellay Hogeg-Golan shared her deeply personal testimony about surviving the October 7th attack with her family, recounting their harrowing escape from their burning home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, and emphasized the widespread impact of trauma on Israeli society, while highlighting Sheba’s crucial role as a national anchor in healing both the visible and invisible wounds of the nation.
The evening featured performances by Montana Tucker, a well-known dancer and social media influencer as well as Eden Golan, Israel’s representative to the Eurovision 2024 contest. Their artistic contributions added a profound emotional dimension to the evening.
The success of the gala was made possible through the dedication of co-chairs Rebecca Jonah Mandel and Dr. Dan Katz, along with the Board of Directors and Host Committee. Their collective efforts reinforced the American Friends of Sheba Medical Center’s pivotal role in advancing crucial healthcare initiatives and supporting those most in need during these challenging times.
