The association of "Shaare Zedek" with the Jewish community in Jerusalem dates back to more than a century. At first, as a clinic within the Old City, and in 1902 under the leadership of Dr. Moshe Wallach, the hospital was inaugurated outside the city walls. The hospital served as the people's guardian during times of plagues, in times of war and bloody riots as well as during periods of calm. The State of Israel today maintains a modern comprehensive health service, in which Shaare Zedek has its rightful role. The new medical center has been equipped with the most modern instruments. The new Shaare Zedec Medical Center employs, among other things, innovative technological methods which make strict observance of Halachic regulations possible and at the same time, administers the best medical attention.
