Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com The Three Musketeers at the Kotel The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. New Israeli military technology allows operators to 'see through walls' New Israeli Military technology allows users to detect objects and people behind walls by using an AI-based tracking algorithm, according to a report. The Xaver 1000, produced by the Israeli imaging solutions company Camero-Tech, was unveiled for the first time at the Eurosatury 2022 exhibition in Paris, France. It's part of the "See Through Walls" family of products which, according to the company, provide real-time information on objects and people concealed behind walls. Camero-Tech claims the new XAVER-1000 is an "essential system" for militaries, law enforcement, intelligence units, and search and rescue teams. The company said it is a new tool for tactical operations, as it can detect the presence of life in rooms, the number of people and their distance from the system, target height and orientation, and the general layout of a space. The technology can display live objects, behind walls, in such high resolution that it can detect whether a person is sitting, standing, or lying down, even if they have been motionless for a significant period. Specific body parts are also detectable, the company said. Operating it is easy and requires minimal training, Shephard Media reported, and it only requires a single user to make use of a simple interface on an embedded 10.1-inch touchscreen display. It can penetrate through most common building materials, Camero-Tech said. Insider reached out to Camero-Tech for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Stunning 1700-Year-Old Mosaic Opens in Lod at Shelby White and Leon Levy Mosaic Archaeological Center By Hana Levi Julian In Lod, the "Shelby White and Leon Levy Mosaic Archaeological Center Lod" opened today with a ceremony in the presence of the donor (Shelby White), Lod Mayor Adv. Yair Revivo, Eli Escozido, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), and other dignitaries. The new Visitor Center features a magnificent mosaic about 1700 years old, one of the most beautiful in the world that has ever been unveiled. The mosaic was discovered in Lod in 1996 by the late IAA archaeologist Miriam Avishar during an archeological excavation before the expansion of Hechalutz Street in the city. It dates to the Roman period – late 3rd or early 4th century CE. The mosaic was covered at the end of the excavation, a budget was found for its re-exposure and removal for preservation, and finally for its return to the site as an archeological center open to the public. The mosaic is exceptional in the quality of its construction, its contents and its state of preservation. It served as the floor of the villa's lounge hall, which was part of a neighborhood of wealthy houses in Lod during the Roman and Byzantine periods. The mosaic is c. 17 meters long and c. 9 meters wide, and consists of colorful "rugs" that describe in detail mammals, birds, fish, plant species and even vessels. Its design is influenced by the mosaics of North Africa. It is also interesting to note that unlike other mosaics from the period, it does not feature descriptions of humans. During the construction of the mosaic center, the Israel Antiquities Authority unveiled another colorful mosaic, which was part of the villa's courtyard. This too was incorporated in the center and is part of the visit experience. Study: Doctors Prescribe Fewer Painkillers on the Night Shift By Hana Levi Julian Pain management is one of the biggest challenges of the modern healthcare system. Almost 60 percent of US adults report having experienced pain in the past three months and pain is one of the main reasons adults seek medical care. Adequate pain management is critical for patient health and wellbeing. A new study published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), found that physicians prescribed less pain medication during nightshifts than during the day. The research was conducted by a multidisciplinary team led by Professor Shoham Choshen-Hillel from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU)'s School of Business Administration and Federmann Center for the Study of Rationality, HU Psychology Department's Dr. Anat Perry, and Dr. Alex Gileles-Hillel from Hadassah Medical Center and HU. In the first part of the study, 67 doctors were given empathy assessment tasks in the morning and asked to respond to simulated patient scenarios. These doctors were either at the end of a 26-hour shift or just beginning their workday. The study found that doctors who recently completed night shift showed less empathy for patient's pain. For example, these physicians' exhibited decreased emotional responses to pictures of people in pain and consistently scored their patients low on pain assessment charts. In the second part of the study, the researchers looked at actual medical decisions made by emergency room doctors in the United States and Israel. In all, they analyzed 13,482 discharge letters for patients who came to the hospital in 2013-2020 with a chief complaint of pain (headache, back pain, etc.). Across all data sets, physicians were 20-30 percent less likely to prescribe an analgesic during night shifts (compared to daytime shifts) and prescribed fewer painkillers than were generally recommended by the World Health Organization. "They're tired and therefore they're less empathic to patients' pain. When we looked at ER doctors' discharge papers, we found that they prescribed fewer painkillers," Choshen-Hillel explained. This bias remained significant even after adjusting for patients' reported level of pain, patient and physician's demographics, type of complaint, and emergency department characteristics. "Our takeaway is that nightshift work is an important and previously unrecognized source of bias in pain management, likely stemming from impaired perception of pain. The researchers explain that even medical experts, who strive to provide the best care for their patients, are susceptible to the effects of a nightshift," Perry noted. Looking ahead, the researchers suggest implementing more structured pain management guidelines in hospitals. Another important implication relates to physician work structure, and the need to improve physicians' working schedules. "Our findings may have implications for other workplaces that involve shiftwork and empathic decision-making, including crisis centers, first responders, and the military. In fact, these results should probably matter to all people who are sleep-deprived," added Gileles-Hillel. In addition to the three lead authors, the Israeli authors included Tom Gordon-Hecker, Shir Genzer and Salomon Israel from the Hebrew University and Ido Sadras and David Rekhtman the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem. The US research team included David Gozal, Koby Clements, and Adrienne Ohler from Missouri University, and Eugene M. Caruso from UCLA. See you tomorrow bli neder We need Moshiach now!
