Kol Yedienu Pesach 2026

Message from Eli Knoller, Director of Development & Community Affairs

• We celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for our New Sheltered Emergency Hospital — a transformative project that will dramatically expand our capacity to serve during times of war and crisis. This approximately $55 million project will create a fully protected emergency facility capable of operating even during sustained missile attacks. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, ensuring that our community will be protected and prepared for generations to come . • We gathered for our Annual Gala Evening celebrating 50 years of Laniado — an inspiring night honoring five decades of compassionate care, medical excellence, and unwavering dedication to our mission. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of those in attendance, the evening enabled us to dedicate a Trauma Room Bay in the New Sheltered Emergency Hospital, a powerful and lifesaving legacy for the future . • We were privileged to lead a special campaign in memory of our long-time friend and devoted supporter, Dr. Charles Simenoff ז"ל . Through this meaningful tribute, we were able to dedicate cutting edge medical equipment to our ENT Department , ensuring that his legacy of healing and generosity will continue to benefit patients for years to come . • Our Purim E-Card Project once again united supporters across the globe. Most moving of all was watching our devoted volunteers pack and distribute mishloach manot to our beloved IDF soldiers in the midst of the “ Operation Roaring Lion" — bringing sweetness, strength, and a tangible reminder that they are never alone . Each of these accomplishments reflects your partnership. You turn vision into reality. You transform gratitude into action . Looking ahead, we are preparing for our upcoming Nursing Scholarship Campaign and Distribution Ceremony — investing in the next generation of nurses who will carry forward Laniado’ s legacy of compassionate, patient-centered care. At a time when healthcare professionals are needed more than ever, this initiative is both urgent and deeply inspiring . For those who wish to see firsthand how our hospital has been responding during these challenging days, we invite you to watch several short video clips

Protecting Life — Even Under Fire Dear Friends and Supporters , As missile sirens sound across our region, the teams at Laniado Hospital are doing something extraordinary: protecting life in

every possible way. Patients are being carefully moved into protected areas, critical departments continue operating in fortified spaces, and even as alerts interrupt our routines, babies are still being born . During these tense hours, mothers and their newborns have been safely transferred immediately after delivery into our newly built Maternity C Department — a space that is already partially sheltered. It is a powerful reminder that even under the shadow of war, life continues, and preparation saves lives . As we approach Pesach , the Festival of Freedom , we pause to reflect on the meaning of this sacred season — a time when we gather with family, retell our story, and recommit ourselves to hope, faith, and responsibility for one another . Pesach reminds us that freedom is never something we take for granted. It is precious. It is fragile. And it carries with it an obligation — to care for those who need us, to strengthen our community, and to build a future worthy of the sacrifices of those who came before us . Because of you, that work continues every single day . We are also deeply grateful that several of our critical departments — including our labor and delivery rooms, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), dialysis unit, and MRI center — are already fully missile-protected . These lifesaving protections were made possible through the sheltering initiative we began together six years ago. Today, that foresight is proving invaluable . At the same time, the current situation reminds us how urgent it is to continue strengthening the hospital’s prot ective infrastructure . Since our last newsletter, together we have reached several meaningful milestones :
