Continuing in its campaign to expand capacity at Israel’s only residential rehabilitation facility for MS patients, the Grabski Multiple Sclerosis Center unveiled 10 additional rooms during a ceremony attended by Welfare and Social Services Minister Yitzchak Herzog.

Located in the Galilee town of Migdal HaEmek, the Chabad-Lubavitch run Grabski center employs a number of treatments and therapies to improve MS patients’ quality of life. This week’s inauguration will bring to 42 the number of inpatient residents that can live at the center. The facility also houses outpatient services.

Directed by Colel Chabad, a social services agency founded by the first Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, in 1788, the Grabski center has undergone several expansions in recent months, including the development of a garden employing various new occupational therapies.

“We are looking forward to further growth over the coming years,” stated Rabbi Zalman Duchman of Colel Chabad.

Plans for an additional center in Beitar Illit to service patients in the Jerusalem area are also currently underway.
