    And you shall surely heal = [Ṿe-rapo yerape] : the Albert Einstein College of Medicine synagogue compendium of Torah and medicine • Vol 6
    (The Michael Scharf Publishing Trust of the Yeshiva University Press, 2015) Albert Einstein College of Medicine Synagogue; Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary; Reichman, Edward; Kahn, Peter; Shabrai, David
    __The inaugural issue of Verapo Yerape was published in 2009. It was a landmark publication rich in symbolism. It represented the enduring ties between Einstein and Yeshiva University, the critical influence of the Einstein Synagogue Rabbi, and, most significancly, the extraordinary talents of the bnei and bnos Torah among Einstein's amazing student body. Now, in 2015, six years later, the sixth edition of chis continuing monograph is being prepared for publication in 2016. With so many references co the number "6", it's edifying and fun to explore this number in Jewish tradition. __Both the author contributors and appreciative readers of Verapo Yerape share several key character traits. They are dedicated to Toras Hashem and co Medinas Yisroel. The Torah begins with the six days of creation and alludes co Chag Hashavuos, the quintessential manifestation of Maran Torah which takes place each year on the 6th of Sivan. ___As Jewish history unfolded, the 6 pointed Scar of David, attributed to a design of Shlomo Hamelech, began to grace the entrances of synagogues worldwide since the sixteenth century. Its prominence became so great char by the end of the nineteenth century, the Zionist movement adopted it as its symbol, and the Scace of Israel made it the center of the Israeli flag. Finally, the 6 pointed scar is the emblem of Magen David Adorn which, since 2006, has been recognized by the International Red Cross as the official symbol of emergency medical care in Israel.

    And you shall surely heal: the Albert Einstein College of Medicine synagogue compendium of Torah and medicine • Vol 5

    The Verapo Yerape journal is an important contribution to the fascinating world of medicine and halakhah, which has been a burgeoning field of scholarship in recent years. We live in an age where scientific discoveries, new treatments and seemingly miraculous innovations appear almost daily. Baruch Hashem, Kial Yisrael has been given a Torah system to grapple with and clarify whatever new discoveries the world of science has to offer mankind. __As the premiere institution following the philosophy of Torah u'Mada - the intense study of Torah and science - Yeshiva University is proud to play a leading role in publishing original works clarifying both the halakhic and hashkafic aspects of modern medicine. It is especially gratifying to see our students - both medical students and rabbinical students - intensely involved with this effort. It is our hope and prayer chat these exceptional young men and women will continue co be mekadeish shem shamayim through their holy work for many years to come. (from the Forward, Dean of RIETS)... __"The number five in Jewish tradition has importance in that there are five books of Moses and five sections of sefer tehillim, so that this fifth edition in the series represents a closing of the first chapter in the Birkat Shmuel medical ethics saga. It has completed a major five volume corpus containing valuable contributions which will be widely quoted. The shul's next chapter comprised of future volumes will continue to define the jewel of Yeshiva and Einstein." (from the Forward by the Dean of AECOM)
