Moshe Reich was born in Brooklyn, New York. As a child, he moved to Israel from the United States and spent two decades studying in a Yeshiva (Torah institution) in Kiryat Sanz, a small town on the outskirts of Netanya. Eventually, he transitioned into the field of education, becoming the head of a local school. With a deep passion for teaching and helping others, his dedication to giving back led him to an unexpected path—the journey to becoming a nurse.

Why is this remarkable? Because for a religious Hasidic man to enter the field of nursing—a profession traditionally dominated by women—is highly unconventional.

Moshe is the first man from this community to become a nurse.

Laniado Hospital, where Moshe now works, was founded after World War II by the Klausenberger Rebbe, a leader of the Sanz Chassidic dynasty. The Rebbe not only established the hospital but also helped build the thriving Sanz community in Netanya, now home to tens of thousands and known as Kiryat Sanz. As a proud "Sanzer Chasid," Moshe is the first man from this community to become a nurse—a milestone he holds with great pride.

One year after qualifying, Moshe speaks passionately about his work. While he acknowledges the challenges of the job, he also expresses deep gratitude for the opportunity to care for people in some of their most difficult moments.
