\u201cBibas Initiative\u201d<\/strong>
\nToday (Wednesday), members of the Bibas family, accompanied by volunteers from the Simcha Toys<\/em> organization, paid a deeply moving visit to the pediatric ward at Assuta Ashdod Public Hospital. During the visit, they handed out gifts to the hospitalized children.<\/p>\n

Kfir and Ariel Bibas were both born at Assuta Ashdod, and the family\u2019s connection to the hospital has remained strong over the years. The family chose to return today, marking the birthday of Ariel hy”d, who was born there six years ago.<\/p>\n
