Abu Chadaid Nabil, an 11 year
old Arab boy from Khan Yunes, in
the Gaza Strip, underwent a lung
transplant at Rabin Medical Center
in April 2008.

Rabin Medical Center recently hosted the Senior Religious Leaders Interfaith Mission to Israel which was led by Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York.
