Judaism isn’t just what we believe, or the prayers
we recite or the laws we observe. It’s also about
the way we live. How we interact with others.

The values we practice. The customs and traditions
we embrace and pass down, from one generation
to the next.

The Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerus-
alem Family mourns the loss of a dear and
cherished friend. A woman with a big heart
and warm smile, Dr. Manstein’s generosity,
dedication and boundless enthusiasm for
Shaare Zedek helped bring healing, hope and
peace of mind to thousands of patients and
their family members. A Shaare Zedek Bene-
factor together with her husband George, we
are grateful for their service on the Interna-
tional Board of Governors and for the Man-
steins’ exemplary support of the Marial &
George Manstein Department of Plastic and
Maxillofacial Surgery and Microsurgical Unit,
the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and the Wilf
Woman and Infant Center on “Charlie’s
Floor.” Heartfelt condolences to her Dr.

George Manstein, children Dr. Ric k
(Shoshana), Dr. Carl (Marla), Celia (Avraham
Glick), Joanne (Shlomo Levin) and Robert,
and brother Harold Boyar. May they all be
comforted amongst the mourners of Zion and
