Officials called the Harlap family’s gift a transformational landmark for Israeli healthcare and medical research
Prominent philanthropists Anat and Dr. Shmuel Harlap have pledged $180 million to Rabin Medical Center–Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tivkah, marking the largest single donation ever made to Israel’s public health-care system, the facility announced on Wednesday.
The contribution will fund the construction of a state-of-the-art Heart and Brain Center, to be called the “Tower of Hope” (Migdal HaTikvah).
Scheduled to open in early 2027, the 15‑floor, 70,000‑square‑meter facility will add 300 beds and eight specialized departments, effectively doubling the current capacity of the hospital’s existing inpatient tower.
