Love is ageless, and so is hope.

At 77, Ada Remer became Israel’s oldest kidney donor, giving her husband, Yaakov, the gift of life through a successful transplant at Sheba Medical Center.

Just days after surgery, the couple is already recovering together—proof that it’s never too late to make a life-changing difference.

Their story reflects Sheba’s mission: advancing medicine with compassion, courage, and innovation that knows no boundaries.

Wishing the Remers continued health and happiness!

Seven freed hostages, David and Ariel Cunio, Gali and Ziv Berman, Yosef-Haim Ohana, Maxim Herkin, and Elkana Bohbot, were discharged from Sheba Medical Center this past Sunday, nearly a week after their release from being in Hamas captivity for over two years.

They received multidisciplinary medical and psychological care at Sheba, from trauma stabilization to long-term rehabilitation and family support.

As they return to their homes, they carry stories of survival and resilience that continue to move us all. At Sheba, we remain committed to accompanying them through the next chapters of healing and continue to pray for those who’ve yet to be returned home to be laid to rest.

This past Friday, we at Sheba had the profound honor of welcoming Prime Minister Netanyahu, who helped review our intensive preparations for the historic return of our hostages, who were held in Gaza for over two years after being taken into captivity on Oct. 7. He then continued his visit by meeting with wounded IDF soldiers, who are being treated in our state-of-the-art, “Return to Life” facility and exchanged kind words with them about their heroism.
