Doctors and Parents in Children’s Wards
In this paper, we explore the acceptance of parents into children’s wards in Tel-Hashomer Hospital, an important foundation of Israel’s health system. In 1953, Tel-Hashomer was the first hospital in Israel to conduct an experimental programme of minimum separation between children and their parents, influenced by the theory of British psychoanalyst and psychiatrist John Bowlby. Tel-Hashomer medical staff encouraged parents to stay long hours near…
MtDNA tests as a vehicle for Jewish recognition of Former Soviet Union Israeli citizens
The hospital as a laboratory
Argument In this article we examine how a leading Israeli hospital gradually became a large biomedical research facility, resembling a huge laboratory. For Chaim Sheba (1908-1971), the founder and first director of Tel-Hashomer Hospital, the massive immigration to Israel in the 1950s was a unique opportunity for research of diverse human populations, especially Jews who had arrived to Israel from Asia and Africa. The paper focuses on the way rese…

Geneticist Elisabeth Goldschmidt
Elisabeth Wexler Goldschmidt's life story is very much the classical story of many of the scientists in the early days of the Hebrew University.

Her personal narrative enables us to learn about the formative processes of the university as a whole. At the same …

This essay describes the effects of Zionist ideology on research into human population genetics carried out in Israel during the 1950s and early 1960s. I argue that the internalization of the dominant Zionist narrative is reflected in the articles that were written by Israeli geneticists and physicians during these years. My claim is based on a comparison of articles about human population genetics written and published by Israeli scientists betw…
