The newest addition to the amazing hospital is a Virtual Reality Area. It is here that patients will be diagnosed and assessed in a safe environment. It will incorporate the newest, state of the art motion analysis and virtual reality space for examinations. There is actually a "floating floor" that provides a safe, simulation site for patients to regain their ability to move in the real world.

Chaim Sheba Rehabilitation Center~Part 1 of 4

JNF Part 5 of 5: The Huleh Valley
The Huleh Valley is and agricultural area in Northern area with abundant fresh water. Is serves as a bottleneck stopover for more than one billion birds as they migrate annually from Europe to Africa and back. Over four hundred species of birds must cross this tiny strip of land. As anyone who has lived on a farm knows--this is hard on crops. Israel has resolved this problem by establishing a "restaurant" for these birds. Every day they feed them with about two tons of corn seed! Amazing!
JNF Part 3 of 5~Cleaning up the Water
Come with us to visit Nachal Alexander, a 32-km river that flows from the West Bank city of Shechem (Nablus), passes by Tul-Karem, crosses the Hefer Valley, passing near the coastal city of Netanya before reaching the Mediterranean Sea. This once polluted water source has been cleaned up thanks to the help of JNF~The Jewish National Fund in Italy and France.
They also created a model to give access to those in Israel who are mobility impaired. See how easy it is to create a friendly, accessible park for all people to enjoy!

JNF Part 2 of 5~Shrinking the Negev
...the Negev will be the test of the Jewish People and the Jewish State--or only through the concerted effort of a people that volunteers and a state that plans and acts will we be able to meet the mighty task of, greening and settling the wilderness. This effort will determine the, fate of the State of Israel and the place of our people in the history of mankind...David Ben-Gurion
This is the 2nd in a five part series focusing on the work of the Jewish National Fund~JNF in Israel. Most people know about the planting of trees, but did you know that JNF is also working with Israel on water conservation and the "greening of the Negev"? JNF has been helping to create huge water reservoirs that currently supply the western Negev. Olive groves, vineyards, cactus fields, and huge fish farms have contributed to make the Negev to be the only desert in the world to be shrinking! Friends of JNF in England, South Africa and America have invested in Action Plan Negev.
Jewish National Fund~Part 1 of 5: Trees Growing Strong
The media (often biased) is not able to show the real facts on the ground. A reporter who flies in for a days or weeks, stays in a hotel and meets a few people is unable to see below the surface. because they are "journalists on a story". People in other countries, and sadly, some who even live in Israel, have no idea of the amazing things that make Israel special. We hope over time that you will see the wonder that is Israel.
The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is known for planting trees in Israel. To date they have been responsible for over 240 Million trees across the country. Israel is the only country in the world whose forest are "increasing"...
Welcome to "Our Israel Story"
Come with us as we will take you on site and up close to show you what the day to day life is truly like in a small country that is increasingly being surrounded by those who would destroy it.
We will introduce you to all sides and opinions, various religious aspects, non-religious views and even those segments that are less than flattering. The sages say that God created the world and everything in it~and it was very good~He does not make mistakes~therefore he created Dark and Light, Good and Evil, Sickness and Cure. Without both sides we would be robots, flawed~Not Good.
It is our hope that by seeing "both sides" and viewing the various aspects you will see the true heart of Israel and understand why it is so important to everyone the world over.
The heart of Our Israel Story, David Rawlings, is an award winning producer, editor and cameraman who is living and raising his family in Israel. He served in the IDF and has spent years traveling the country, filming and interviewing the people (from the Prime Minister to a couple living "with nature") that make up the complex tapestry that is "Our Israel".
