Kol HaNeshamah Day School Music Festival
VOICES SING IN SUPPORT OF RAMBAM
December 6, 2009
The KOL HANESHAMA (meaning the Voice of the Soul in Hebrew) Music Festival proved to be a resounding hit for American Friends of Rambam (AFORAM) In the Greater Boston Metropolitan Area this Chanukah season. "Now in it's fourth year, KOL HANESHAMA has raised not only our community's spirit but also thousands of dollars for Rambam Medical Center" says TRUDY FAGEN, Arts Coordinator at Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Boston and the Festival's organizer. "It teaches our children that through their artistic efforts, ‘TIKKUN OLAM’ can be accomplished." And the fund-raising efforts at the concert, along with all donations made to AFORAM, have a direct impact on Rambam Health Care Campus' ambitious plans. Under the leadership of DR. RAFAEL BEYAR, CEO and Director General of Rambam, the Health Care Campus is reinventing itself as a 21st century “hospital of the future”: A three level underground garage that converts into a fortified, emergency hospital is in the works; A revolutionary Robotics Center to perform complex, minimally invasive procedures is being established; A Biomedical Discovery Tower is planned for the years to come. The money raised at the Kol HaNeshama Music Festival gives children in a place as far from Israel as Boston a chance to participate in the life-changing care that Rambam Health Care Campus practices In Haifa.
