Bnei Brak Chief Rabbi Blesses Emergency Medical Service Shehal

The Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Bnei Brak, Masoud Ben Shimon, met with executives from the emergency medical service company Shehal to discuss the importance of immediate medical availability during emergencies. The Shehal delegation, including CEO David Arnon and Business Development Manager Yossi Graf, sought the Rabbi's blessing for their life-saving work.

During the meeting, Arnon and Graf presented Shehal's advanced services, which provide thousands of subscribers with rapid and professional medical assistance directly at home. They reported that Shehal's call center handles approximately 15,000 monthly inquiries from subscribers seeking help, guidance, or treatment, many of which involve urgent situations requiring immediate response.

Shehal executives highlighted the critical time factor in emergency medicine, emphasizing how prompt contact with their medical center can be crucial, especially for individuals experiencing symptoms alone at home, potentially at night. They explained that initial, timely responses allow for situation assessment, patient guidance, and swift action when further help is needed.

Arnon demonstrated Shehal's emergency button, which allows subscribers to contact the medical center with a single press. This service provides immediate medical response, treatment instructions, and, if necessary, assistance in dispatching emergency medical help to the subscriber's automatically identified location. The service also offers peace of mind to family members, knowing their loved ones can quickly access aid.

Rabbi Ben Shimon acknowledged the significant responsibility of those involved in public health and the importance of investing resources to help those in need. "The concern for the health of every Jew is very great, and even more so when it comes to activity that can lead to saving lives," he stated, quoting a Jewish teaching that saving one life is akin to saving an entire world. He blessed Shehal's efforts, encouraging them to continue their vital work as good emissaries for saving lives and promoting the health of many.

The Shehal representatives thanked the Rabbi for his words of encouragement and blessing, noting that behind the statistics of thousands of calls are individuals and families needing medical care during moments of worry and uncertainty. They affirmed that their commitment to providing accessible and professional service is the foundation of the company's operations, aiming to ensure every subscriber receives the appropriate care at the right time.
