Raising money for charities is always a go for us. So when we were invited to Loewenstein Hospital Rehabilitation center charity gala dinner we didnt think twice about going.

Lowenstein hospital is the largest rehabitlitation center in Israel.
Patients come to Lowenstein from all over Israel, from all sectors, civilian and military as well as from abroad.
The Charity dinner was hosted by celebrity TV host Dvir Benedek at the lovely Venetian event hall  who welcomed the talented David Naor to perform on stage with his unique voice! We were fortunate to get to hear him sing our favorite ... opera! Absolutely amazing! As well as the famous soprano singer Yael Levita whom took our breath away with her elegant beautiful voice. All this while the famous Raanana Symphonette Orchestra was  playing in the backgorund!!

In between all these magnificent performances we were served delectable starters of house bread, smoked duck breast , smoked salmon, scorched sirloin, foie gras, and Panchanella salad.
Seconds: Miso Salmon and Venetian lilly's. For entrees we had a choice off  beef filet or goose leg and for dessert a platter of fruit and a variety of delicious sweets.

A wonderful event for a wonderful cause!
