| Dinner raises half a million
June saw the Laniado UK inaugural dinner at the Conservatory in Chelsea. 350 people from across the community attended. £500,000 was raised for a new emergency room at the hospital.
The keynote speaker was Israel's ambassador to the UN, Mr. Dan Gillerman. In his speech Mr Gillman said Laniado is "a tapestry of everything that is good and beautiful and excellent about Israel. A tapestry of excellence, of innovation, of creativity, of equality, of tolerance and above all compassion". The dinner also included a film showcasing the hospital's work and an auction of items such as a box at the Albert Hall to see Cirque du Soleil, VIP tickets to the masters golf tournament in Augusta and Grammy tickets.
The appeal was made by Dr Abdul Manam Hadj, head of Laniado's emergency room. Dr Hadj said: "there is no difference between Arab, Jews and Christians on the operating table, we give our best to help all people". The event was sponsored by Investec Private Bank and the Khalili family.

| Spinning for Laniado
A trainer at Esporta in Swiss Cottage held a three-hour sponsored spin class to raise funds for Laniado Hospital. Marc Aldridge heard about the cause through Jewish clients. He was impressed by the hospital's commitment to treat people from all faiths and communities. Marc's spinning event raised more than £2,000.
British donors help Netanya's kids
A $1.5 million donation from a UK family trust has funded a brand new paediatric emergency centre at Netanya's Laniado Hospital.
The centre was built by The Weinstock Family Trust. This trust was established to commemorate Fala and Dyna Weinstock who died in the Holocaust. Their nephew, Israel Weinstock, from Elstree, administers the fund and was present at the centre's opening. Israel's Sanz-Klausenberger Rebbe, Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Halberstam, son of the hospital's founder was present to thank the Weinstock family. Also attending were Dr David Krazner, another Weinstock trustee, and Yael Simon, who heads Laniado's UK operation.
