On Tuesday evening, His Excellency Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel, and his wife Michal Herzog visited the Nazareth Hospital to witness the launch of the Nazareth Trust 160th Anniversary celebrations.
Here’s a photo of the Trust’s CEO Richard Mayhew showing the President and his wife around the hospital.
Richard also had the opportunity to explain to the President the Scottish roots of the Trust and said:
“We are proud of our 160-year history, and we are delighted, Mr President, that you are here today to celebrate with us. Our Christian faith is at the heart of our organisation, expressed through the care for the sick physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Health is a unifying factor of this hospital. Our staff and patients, perhaps uniquely in this hospital, would be representative of all the different faiths, of all the faith traditions, of all the political persuasions of this land, but united as one in treating the sick.”
Isaac and Michal Herzog visited the hospital to express their gratitude to the management and hospital staff for the outstanding medical services provided to the region, especially during the ongoing pandemic.
Isaac Herzog said:
“The Nazareth Hospital is distinguished by faith, a faith in God where the three religions believe in saving lives and treating those who need it. Thank you for your great work serving the community with His grace”
We’re so honoured that the President could visit us to learn more about everything we do at the Nazareth Trust.

It’s official! The Nazareth Trust has launched its 160th Anniversary Brochure to celebrate its long-standing history in Scotland and Israel.
To compile this publication, we have selected a few individuals, both past and present, whose stories need to be shared. Thanks to these individuals’ work and many others, we are recognised as one of the largest Christian organisations in Israel today and celebrating our 160th Anniversary. We do hope you enjoy reading the Brochure as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.
You can read it here. Feel free to share it with your friends and family!

We have looked back at the past, reflected on the present, and now we’re looking towards the future!
The Discovery Center represents the future vision of the Nazareth Village. Since opening its doors back in 2000, the Nazareth Village has welcomed and inspired more than one million visitors from all around the world. To build on this success and keep growing our ministry for future generations, we need to expand the existing visitor centre.
• A 3-D theatre
• A lecture hall and teaching rooms
• Expanded orientation area
• Archaeological exhibit hall
• Expanded gift shop
• Meeting area
• Expanded restroom facilities
• Additional bus parking
