Eitanim (Hebrew: אֵיתָנִים, lit. '"steadfast"') is a psychiatric hospital in central Israel. Located near Jerusalem, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 59.[1]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The name of the village is from a verse in the Bible, prophet Micah 6:2:[2] "Listen, you enduring foundations of the earth".
History
[edit | edit source]Until 1948, there was a village in the area by the name of Dayr 'Amr.[3] In 1942 an agricultural school was established there for Arab orphans of the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. In 1950 a hospital for people with tuberculosis was founded on the site.
Today Eitanim is a psychiatric hospital that specializes in acute emergency cases. It operates as a branch of Kfar Shaul and the Jerusalem Mental Health Center. The compound has separate facilities for men and women.[4] Eitanim is the only psychiatric hospital in Israel with an entire ward dedicated to the treatment of severe autism in adults.[5]
