Street Named for Prof. Michael Weingarten z"l

A very emotional street naming ceremony in Rosh HaAyin took place on April 22, 2021. 

The new street is named after Prof. Michael Weingarten, z"l.

Prof. Weingarten was one of the founders of the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine and was very loved by his colleagues and patients. Originally an Oleh from England, Prof. Weingarten, a specialist in family medicine, established a clinic in Rosh HaAyin where he devoted himself to the local population and became well known and appreciated. Upon the establishment of Bar-Ilan University's new Faculty of Medicine in the year 2011, he chose to move with his family to Safed to become Associate Dean of Medical Education where he built up the medical curriculum from scratch. 

He is missed.
