The Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Bnei Brak, Rabbi Masoud Ben Shimon, met with executives from the medical emergency company 'Shehal' to discuss the importance of immediate medical availability during emergencies and the value of saving lives. The company's representatives, including CEO David Arnon and Business Development Manager Yossi Graf, sought the Rabbi's blessing for their work in urgent medical care.
During the meeting, Shehal's management presented their advanced service system, which provides thousands of subscribers with rapid and professional medical assistance directly at their homes. They reported that the Shehal center handles approximately 15,000 calls monthly from subscribers seeking help, guidance, or treatment, many of which involve emergencies requiring immediate response.
Arnon highlighted the challenge of response time in urgent medical situations, especially when individuals are alone or at night. He introduced Shehal's emergency button service, which allows subscribers to contact the medical center with a single press. This service provides initial assessment, guidance, and can dispatch further medical aid, automatically identifying the caller's location.
Rabbi Ben Shimon emphasized the significant responsibility of those involved in public health and the importance of investing in services that aid 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 save lives," he stated, quoting a religious principle that saving one life is akin to saving an entire world. He blessed the company's efforts, calling them "good emissaries for saving lives and the health of many."
The Shehal representatives thanked the Rabbi for his encouragement, noting that behind the statistics of thousands of calls are individuals and families in moments of worry and uncertainty. They affirmed their commitment to providing accessible and professional service to ensure each subscriber receives the right help at the right time.
