“ And ye shall not harden your hearts against the poor and the needy, but heal them. ”
This quote from the 1,500-year-old oath for Jewish doctors was written by “Assaf Harofeh,” also known as Assaf the Doctor — long considered the Jewish Hippocrates.
His complete 1,000 word oath is still taken today by all students qualifying as physicians in Israel.
The Assaf Harofeh Medical Center is dedicated to his spirit and his teachings, which have provided inspiration and knowledge to all in
the pursuit of healing. |

 Assaf Harofeh is a teaching hospital as well, affiliated with the Tel Aviv University Sackler Faculty of Medicine. Its Academic Nursing School, the largest in Israel, offers a four-year B.A. in Nursing and a Registered Nursing Licensing program in affiliation with the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Further, the School of Physiotherapy, the first school in Israel, offers a B.A. in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences.
Its physicians and researchers are actively engaged in both basic and clinical research in cooperation with Israel’s leading academic and scientific institutions. Some highlights of the international Friends’ efforts on behalf of the Hospital during the last years :
On the Front Lines, Fighting the Good Fight
PRIOR TO THE CREATION OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, the site of Assaf Harofeh
Medical Center first served as a British military hospital. After the
1948 War of Independence, the hospital became an Israeli medical
center, playing a vital role in caring for nearly a half million citizens in
the surrounding area. Starting in 1950 as the National Center for Polio
Victims, it has risen to become one of Israel’s top medical and teaching
facilities. Assaf Harofeh’s roots as a military hospital have not been
forgotten. Today, as in the past, it serves our brave men and women of the
Israeli Defense Forces throughout the country.
Assaf Harofeh Medical Center is in great need of a PET Imaging System with computerized tomography capabilities, which will eventually upgrade the cancer treatment possibilities for a population of 1,000,000 people in the central and southern parts of Israel.
As is evident the hospital could always use support in such areas as: annual campaigns, building/renovation, capital campaigns, continuing support and general/operating support. We strongly believe that the American Friends of Assaf Harofeh Medical Center should be considered as a viable candidate for funding in the future.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration of our organization. Our medical center is dedicated to the spirit of this great physician, as he said “. . . and ye shall not harden your hearts against the poor and the needy, but heal them . . . .”
