The opening as it read in 2010

Moskowitz (born 1928, New York City ) is a Florida -based businessman who built a fortune running hospitals and legal gambling in California . He is the founder of the eponymous "Moskowitz Foundation" which claims to "to help people in need regardless of race, creed, politics or religion". The foundation raises funds for contentious Jewish housing projects in the Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem projects through its "charity" bingo hall in Hawaiian Gardens, California . The funding provided by Moskowitz is channelled through the organisations Elad and Ateret Cohanim . In 2007, he initiated plans to build 122 apartments on the site of the Shepherd Hotel in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem , the work condemned by the British government. The plan was reduced in 2009 and condemned by the United States government. Final approval was given for the 20 apartments for Jewish families on March 23, 2010, only hours before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with President Barack Obama at the White House. An existing structure in the area will be torn down to make room for the housing units, while the historic Shepherd Hotel will remain intact. A three-story parking structure and an access road will also be constructed on site Moskowitz Foundation Home Page Irving Moskowitz's bingo madness , Richard Silverstein, The Guardian , 6 August 2009 Sharrock, David.
