Terem Medical Center Gets Enraged Arab Letter About Their Israeli Flags
The Terem Emergency Medical Center in Armon HaNatziv
The staff at the Terem Medical Center, a network of private immediate care medical clinics, found by Dr. David Applebaum HY”D, were surprised when the Armon HaNetziv branch in Jerusalem received a letter from an angry Arab woman they apparently treated, according to a mynet report by Moshe Heller.
The Arab Jerusalemite wrote that she was upset that the Terem Medical Center had Israeli flags hanging for Israel’s Independence Day. She claimed it hurt her sensitive feelings and the feeling of other Arabs visiting the medical center, including the Arab doctors and medical staff who work in Terem and identify with the “Palestinian-Arab minority”.
In the letter, the wounded Arab wrote, “The clinic serves all people without differentiating between religion, race or nationality, and therefore, it is inappropriate that dozens of the Israeli-Jewish national flags were hung in the clinic.”
The Terem Medical Center was founded in 1989 by Dr. David Applebaum HY”D — an incredible human being and Jew.
Dr. Applebaum and his daughter Naava were murdered by Arab terrorists on September 9, 2003, when an Arab suicide bomber blew up a Jerusalem cafe the night before Naava was to get married. Dr. Applebaum was also the chief of emergency room and trauma services at Shaare Tzedek hospital. He revolutionized the treatment of victims of Arab suicide bombings.
Terem treats over 400,000 people annually all over the country, and as the letter writer said, without discrimination, not towards the medical staff, and not towards the patients.
While no one at Terem would ever say it, I will.
If this Arab letter writer isn’t happy with the Israeli flags in this Israeli medical center founded by a Jewish doctor murdered by Arab terrorists, then she should go find some Arab medical center that will treat her. We can recommend one in Syria or one 200 miles due WEST!!!
My blood is boiling.

The Café Hillel bombing was a Palestinian suicide bombing carried out on September 9, 2003 in a coffee shop in theGerman Colony neighborhood in Jerusalem. Seven people were killed in the attack and over 50 were injured. A few hours prior to the Café Hillel bombing, Palestinian militants carried out a suicide attack in a bus stop next to the military base Tzrifin.
On Tuesday evening, 9 September 2003 a Palestinian suicide bomber approached the "Café Hillel" coffee shop in theGerman Colony neighborhood of Jerusalem. Security guard Alon Mizrahi was attempting to prevent the bomber from entering when he blew himself up. At 11:20 pm the bomber detonated the explosive device he carried on his body.
Among those killed in the attack were Dr. David Applebaum, head of the emergency room at Shaare Zedek Medical Centerin Jerusalem, and his daughter Nava, who was to have been married the day after the bombing.

The attack was perpetrated by the Hamas member Ramez Abu Salim who originated from the village of Rantis, and had been a student at Bir Zeit University. In July 2004 Israeli military forces arrested members of a Palestinian militant squad who were involved in the execution and planning of many attacks, including the Café Hillel bombing. On 14 March 2010 Israeli military forces caught the Hamas militant leader Maher Udda, whom participated in the execution of both these suicide attacks as well as other terrorist attack.

David Applebaum was born in Detroit, Michigan. He attended high school at the Hebrew Theological College in Skokie, Illinois and received his rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Aaron Soloveitchik at the Brisk yeshiva in Chicago. Applebaum was a graduate of Roosevelt University in Chicago, with a master's degree in biological sciences from Northwestern University. He earned his medical degree at the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo, Ohio in 1978.
Applebaum was killed along with his 20-year old daughter, Nava Applebaum, on the eve of her wedding. Applebaum had just returned from New York, where he addressed a symposium on terrorism marking the second anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States. He ended his remarks with: "From one moment to the next, we never know what will happen in the ER [emergency room], but it's in Jerusalem that real reality occurs."

Applebaum's murder was described by The Lancet as a tragic irony: This victim of a suicide bomber was himself an "emergency room doctor who treated victims of dozens of suicide bombings in Israel." In an incident in 1984, Applebaum rushed to aid a man shot in a clothing shop, operating on him while the shooting continued. In 1986, the Israeli Knesset presented Applebaum with the Quality of Life Award for treating terror victims on King George Street in Jerusalem while bullets flew around him.
Applebaum’s younger daughter, Shira, earned her paramedic degree from Ben-Gurion University's Health Sciences Faculty, and works in emergency medicine. Applebaum pioneered the idea of immediate care clinics in Israel, to divert non-emergency cases from hospital emergency rooms while delivering faster care to patients who would have had long waits for emergency room staff.
The British Medical Journal noted that Applebaum trained both Arab and Jewish physicians and nurses for his system of urgent care centers so that there would be staffing on the holy days of both religions. He was credited by The Lancet with "transforming" the delivery of emergency care in Israel. Jonathan Halevy, Director General of Shaare Zedek, called Applebaum "a master of emergency medicine." He said that Applebaum had spent the last year upgrading the center’s emergency room procedures, and previously had set up a chain of small emergency care centers called Terem throughout Jerusalem.
