I worked at Merkaz Kidma 17 years ago as a Speech Therapist and Leora
Levy was in charge of the Speech Therapists and her husband Shachar
was selling, adjusting and fixing hearing aids and providing the
appropriate accessories (like batteries etc)
Training under Leora was a very special experience. Aside from giving
hadracha to her own therapists at Kidma including myself, she was head
of the Speech Department at Kallit and gave hadracha also at
Mevasseret Tzion. And she was even working on a Phd in Speech
Therapy!!! Yes she had a lot of energy! She was very insightful,
encouraging and extremely personable.
Since my time at Kidma, we have remained in touch. Leora completed
her PhD and has been BA university students on Speech Therapy
and Audiology - including: hearing tests,hearing aids and other
devices such as .Ear Poppers etc.
Merkaz Kidma branched out considerably since I worked there - they
used to have a Beit Shemesh branch and a Jerusalem branch. Now they
are spread across the country! With contracts with the Kupot Cholim,
Kidma conducts hearing tests at subsidized prices as well as
providing hearing devices at extremely significantly reduced prices -
for example instead of paying 6000nis for a device you can get it
for around only 50 nis!.
Due to the extreme demand, Leora is seeking more Speech Therapists to
work under her supervision in order to cut the waiting list and
provide immediate service. Please be in touch with her on 054-224-8896
Have a great week!
