Inside the Hospital at the Center of Israel's Coronavirus Pandemic
(Ha'aretz) Ronny Linder - At Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in Bnei Brak last Monday, an Arab doctor entered the hospital's coronavirus unit in full protective garb, holding a Torah scroll wrapped in a Jewish prayer shawl for use by the patients there. Last week, Covid-19 wards were the only places in Israel where prayer could be conducted in groups: the worshippers were already infected. The physician who brought in the Torah, Dr. Abed Zahalka, has worked in the intensive care unit at Mayanei Hayeshua for many years.
