History of Hadassah - Mt. Scopus & Ein Kerem
My parent's group was touring the site in Ein Kerem, where the new Hadassah Medical Center was in construction in 1957.
Hadassah Ein Kerem was built after Hadassah Mt. Scopus was forced to close after 78 Jews including 23 women were killed by Arabs.
Hadassah Ein Kerem opened in 1961 and was under construction in 1957. The youth group was shown where Hadassah would be building the Ein Kerem Campus.
Israel recaptured Mt. Scopus in 1967 but it was not until 1975 when Hadassah Hospital on Mt Scopus was reopened to Jews starting with 100 beds.
It was not until 1975 when Hadassah Mt. Scopus hospital was reopened.
