Yarden's Closet opens at Safra Children's Hospital

Toys for Hospitalized Children opened “Yarden’s Closet” at Safra Children’s Hospital at Sheba, in memory of Yarden Pinhas, an 8-year-old angel who passed away after a long battle with cancer.

The event began with Yarden’s family unpacking boxes filled with toys, games, and gifts, and carefully placing on each a unique sticker stating, “A gift from Yarden’s Closet.” The family then loaded up the closet, which will be an integral part of the department.

Once the closet was full of magnificent toys, Yarden’s mom, dad, and siblings went through the children’s wards, visiting each child at their bedside, handing out toys, singing with them, and sharing words of inspiration.

They spoke with the young patients, shared smiles, and brought moments of happiness to children spending long days in the hospital.

Yarden’s Closet will remain stocked with toys and gifts, giving hospitalized children something to look forward to and continuing Yarden’s legacy of joy.

The opening was attended by the Pinhas family, Department Head Prof. Raz Somech, Toys for Hospitalized Children leadership, and the TOYS team. Watch the emotional opening here!

The Bibas Family Playroom Opens at Schneider Children’s Hospital

Play. Smile. Heal.

We are proud to announce the grand opening of the Bibas Family Playroom at Schneider Children’s Medical Center—an extraordinary space designed to bring comfort, joy, and healing to children facing serious illness.

We are deeply grateful to our visionary donors—Michelle Domb, who dedicated the room in honor of her children and grandchildren, and Sruli Anatian, who honored his beloved mother. Their generosity is turning grief into purpose and tragedy into a lasting legacy of hope.

From soaring windows that flood the room with sunlight to vibrant butterflies and cutting-edge interactive technology that responds to a child’s movement, every inch of this therapeutic playroom was carefully crafted by Ovadia Design Group and Breeze Creative. It is a place where children can momentarily escape pain and simply be kids.

This playroom is the first of four transformative spaces that will revolutionize the hospital experience for thousands of children. Created in loving memory of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas A”H, the room stands as a powerful tribute to love, resilience, and healing.

Maurice Shnaider, uncle of Shiri Bibas, shared from the heart: “After everything our family went through on October 7, this space brings comfort and healing. Seeing it bring joy to sick children is the greatest tribute we could imagine.”

At Toys for Hospitalized Children, we believe that happy kids heal faster. Together, we are proving that play is not just fun—it’s a vital part of the healing process.

Where joy becomes part of the cure.
