Yom Hazikaron Ceremony at Shaare Zedek Medical Center

At the Yom Hazikaron Ceremony at Shaare Zedek Medical Center this morning our staff, patients and visitors remembered the 23,544 Israeli fallen soldiers and the 3,117 victims of terror. Mr. Yaron Shor, the father of Sergeant Barkai Yishai Shor z”l, from Jerusalem who was shot during Operation Protective edge near Kibbutz Nahal Oz, while protecting the people of Israel from terrorists who had penetrated Israel in tunnels from Gaza shared his thoughts and memories.

From the age of 15, Barkai Shor z”l had been volunteering with MADA. His life was tragically cut short before he had the opportunity to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor. Yaron shared, “Barkai had a strong connection with Shaare Zedek. He dreamed of becoming a doctor. He visited Shaare Zedek many times as part of his volunteer efforts with MADA and at various times he would come to the medical center to visit with patients.”

We are proud to offer treatment in the Barkai Shor Gynecology Outpatient Clinics on the 9th Floor of Shaare Zedek Medical Center’s Next Generation Building. May his memory be blessed.
