Together with the commitment, dedication, and enthusiasm of the BHC, Rambam’s Ethiopian employees will now receive an opportunity to improve their Hebrew skills. AdvertisementGalit Kobi, director of the Department of Learning and Organizational Development at Rambam, expands on the initiative, "Following requests from our employees in the field, we invested significant time in planning this project.
