NATALIE PORTMAN GIVES TO HADASSAH HOSPITAL

Jewish Actress Helps Expand Trauma Unit For Jerusalem Hospital
Jerusalem's Hadassah hospital received a $50 million donation last week including a large donation from one of the people born there: famed Jewish actress Natalie Portman.

Portman's donation is earmarked for an improved and expanded emergency trauma center being funded by the Hadassah Women's Zionist movement. The expansion will enable three times as many victims to be treated at once. ...

While studying at Harvard University, Portman wrote an open letter defending Israeli security policies after a pro-PLO student attacked Israel in the campus newpaper. She also frequently paid visits to Israeli victims of terrorism in hospitals during the course of the Oslo War.
