Moshe Wallach
Moshe (Moritz) Wallach (28 December 1866 – 8 April 1957) was a
German Jewish physician and pioneering medical practitioner in
Jerusalem. He was the founder of
Shaarei Zedek Hospital on
Jaffa Road, which he directed for 45 years. He introduced modern medicine to the impoverished and disease-plagued citizenry, accepting patients of all religions and offering free medical care to indigents. He was so closely identified with the hospital that it became known as "Wallach's Hospital". A strictly
Torah-observant Jew, he was also an activist in the
Agudath Israel Orthodox Jewish movement. He was buried in the
small cemetery adjacent to the hospital.
