Bnai Zion is reaching out in South Florida. We tell about our projects in Israel and their positive impact on the lives of the sick and injured at Bnai Zion Medical Center, children and youth at risk at Ahava Village, and on disabled adults at the Quittman Residential Center at Israel Elwyn. David Yellin College of Education and Ma’aleh Adumim have seen libraries, playgrounds and programs grow along with the children and students there who benefit from Bnai Zion contributions.
Since you care enough to read about our region why not come build with us? We are looking for people who will help us tell our story. Why not open your home to one of our project directors when they come to America and host a parlor meeting to hear the latest news from Israel. You will find that your friends and family will be very pleased they had a chance to spend an evening with us and were able to learn more about how our work improves lives.

In March, Aventura Hospital hosted another segment of the Healing Hands Across the Ocean exchange with the Bnai Zion Medical Center, welcoming Dr. Noam Calderon, head of the plastic surgery department, from Israel. Dr. Calderon made a compelling presentation about diabetic limb salvage and many fields of medicine were represented by the participants from Aventura Hospital, which awarded nurses and doctors continuing medical education credit for attending.
Dr. Calderon Greets the Men’s Club at Broken Sound
Dr. Calderon continued his tour, speaking to Broken Sound Men’s Club. Thirty men living in
Boca Raton meet every Tuesday to discuss current events, tell jokes and support Israel.
The questions they had for Dr. Calderon ranged from issues in the medical field to “when is Israel going to take care of Iran?” We thank Stan Morganbesser for making our visits to Broken Sound so pleasant, and we’re looking forward to our next opportunity in the Broken Sound community in October.
Dr. Calderon Meets the Aventura Marketing Council
