The Beit Halochem Center in Jerusalem opened in 1994, for
the benefit of the members of Zahal Disabled Veterans Organization
living in and around the Jerusalem area.The facility grounds
encompass some ten acres of beautiful landscaping, in the
south-western part of Jerusalem, between the new suburbs of
Gilo and Givat Masua, with a panorama of the Judaean hills.
The construction of the facility was made possible through
the contributions of Friends of Beit Halochem Organizations,
from all over the world, and especially, by virtue of the
5.5 million dollar legacy bequeathed by the late Aladar and
lby Fleischman.
The 5,500 square meter Jerusalem stone complex boasts a large multipurpose gymnasium, an indoor swimming pool, auditorium, treatment and fitness rooms, classrooms, tennis courts, shooting range, and spacious parking lots. More than 2,400 disabled veterans and their families are currently served by the Center.
