Moses uses just a few urgent words, “please heal her,” in his shortest prayer
recorded in the Bible, on behalf of his beloved sister MIriam. Why did Moses
offer such a succinct prayer, and not pray at length? Our Sages say that there
is a time for prayer, and a time for action. With this in mind, the city of
Ariel in Samaria has just opened its first emergency medical clinic, which will
service all the many small communities around Ariel. No sooner did the new
clinic open, when last week a Palestinian terrorist stabbed two Israelis in
Ariel. Speedy emergency care often means the difference between life and death.
Beforehand the nearest emergency medical care facility was a 30 minute drive
away without traffic. While the citizens of Samaria are grateful, it’s time for
more action to reach a greater goal of a much needed larger medical
facility.
