ALYN Hospital is one of the world’s leading pediatric rehabilitation facilities. The acronym in Hebrew stands for Anashim Lemaan Yaldei Nachutz, which translates to "People for the Sake of Children in Need". When we write out the abbreviation in English, we write "All the Love You Need".
ALYN makes a significant difference in the quality of life of children with diverse disabilities, whether congenital or acquired, by providing tools that enhance their independence and mobility while living at home and in their community.

A polio epidemic in Israel in the 1940s and 1950s affected many children. To house the growing need of the ensuing emergency situation, the Ministry of Health provided ALYN Hospital with a monastery previously belonging to the St. Simon Orthodox Church to use as a hospital. In this space, ALYN provided medical and educational support to approximately 200 children with polio. However, the monastery building was not well-suited for housing a developing rehabilitation center. In 1971, thanks to matching funds generously donated by Malcolm and Dorothy Woldenberg, the ALYN Woldenberg Family Hospital, a modern hospital and rehabilitation facility in the Kiryat Yovel neighborhood of Jerusalem, opened its doors.
