Honoring Dr. Applebaum
It's been one year since former
Detroiter Dr. David Applebaum was
killed by a terrorist's bomb in
Jerusalem.
In a remarkable gesture, 15
American and Canadian physicians
have made aliyah — to work in
Israel in his memory.
Dubbed the Applebaum Fellows,
the doctors traveled with their fami-
lies — nearly 100 individuals — on
a program sponsored by Nefesh
B'Nefesh, in close cooperation with
the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Dr. Applebaum and his 20-year-
old daughter Nava were killed —
along with five others — on Sept. 9,
2003, on the evening before her
wedding, when the two sat in Cafe
Hillel in Jerusalem. Thirty were
injured in the suicide bomb attack.
Born in Detroit, Dr. Applebaum
attended Hillel Day School of
Metropolitan Detroit before moving
to Cleveland and then Israel in
1981, where he served as director of
Emergency Services at Jerusalem's
Shaare Zedek Hospital.
Applebaum Fellows on this sum-
mer's third Nefesh B'Nefesh-spon-
sored El Al flight of over 400 new-
corners to Israel include an emer-
gency room specialist, surgeon,
pediatric nephrologist and pediatric
gastroenterologist. In all, nearly
1,500 North Americans are moving
to Israel this summer. Support for
the Applebaum Fellowship branch
of Nefesh B'Nefesh's aliyah cam-
paign was initiated by Israel Seed
Partners, a Jerusalem-based venture
capital fund, supported by the
United Israel Appeal of Canada.
