He told me: "This is the worst headache I've ever had in my life", and I knew that you should be very close to a hospital in this situation.

I knew immediately that something was wrong.

We ordered an ambulance that took us to Hadassah Ein Kerem, and we flew with him urgently and it was his best judgment.

We arrived at the hospital and received the best care possible.

We were blessed with Dr. Samuel Moskovisi, who dared to enter his brain. I begged him to take care of his brain. "You must take care of this brain of ours," I told him in the difficult moments, but I quickly realized that he would take care of every person, not just our Jacob Dr.

God's grace".



Yaakov from his bed asked to thank and praise the Hadassah team on the special day: "Today, the 9th of Av, it is so symbolic when we talk about the destruction of the Temple. We talk about the holiest place. If not Hadassah, the place that brings life to everyone, the place where people work with dedication and brotherhood One with the other without any difference of religion or sect. They say that a temple is a house of prayer for all peoples, and here I was truly treated by Jews and Arabs alike, with love and brotherhood and I felt the fulfillment of the prophets' prophecy here."
