A mother-and-child center was opened in the new north Jerusalem suburb of Neve Yaacov yesterday in the presence of Joseph M. Levine of Chicago, an Israel Bond Organization leader, whose donation to the “Jerusalem Foundation” made the center possible. Mayor Teddy Kollek and City Council members were among those present at the ceremony. Levine is a member of the 450-member Israel Bond delegation attending the “Prime Minister’s Mission” currently visiting Israel.
Levine’s previous gifts to the “Jerusalem Foundation” helped build two public parks, a basketball court and a suburban library. The new mother-and-child center is named after Mrs. Dorothy Levine. Making use of its facilities will be a large number of immigrant families, many of them from Soviet Georgia, as well as Israeli young couples who have moved to Neve Yaacov, the northernmost section of the capital on the road to Ramallah.
