Israel Improves Medical Care in Jerusalem With New Hospital Pavilion

Israel’s desire to continue settling and improving Jerusalem is evident in so many ways. Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem has its roots back in the late 1800s. It has continued to grow and flourish ever since, and now is celebrating the opening of a brand new pavilion. It brings to mind the prophetic words of Israel’s prophets from thousands of years ago, when they explained that the Land will once again flourish when the Jewish Nation returns to the land of their heritage.
