This Week's Dvar Torah: "A Tale of Two Snakes"
   There is a strange biblical episode in this week's portion of Chukas.
When poisonous snakes attack the Jews in the desert, G-d instructs Moshe to fashion a special healing instrument: a pole topped with the form of a snake. Moshe sculptures a snake of copper, and duly places it on top of a pole. Those who had been afflicted by the snake-bite would gaze on the serpentine image on the pole and be cured.
   It is interesting to note that according to some historians, this was the forerunner of the caduceus, the snake-entwined rod which is today the emblem of the medical profession. The question is obvious: What was the point of placing a snake on top of the pole to cure the Jews who were bitten? If it was G-d who was healing them miraculously, why the need to look up at a copper-snake atop a pole?

   On this week's amud we find the famous disagreement between Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel as to the basic understanding of the verse "b'shachbecha uv'kumecha", when you lay down and when you get up.
THIS WEEKS'S HALACHA:
Moving Lit Shabbos Candles & Lighting One Candle From Another
Once they are lit, may the Shabbos candles be moved [by one who has not yet "accepted" the Shabbos] from one spot on the table or in the room to another? 
Is it permitted to light one candle from another?

"Patients & Families: What Are They Being Told?"
 
Patients and families in today's hospitals are being asked to make awesome life-and-death medical decisions. Out of their element, under emotional stress, and exhausted, they are very vulnerable to being influenced by the biases of the medical personnel. This presentation will alert the audience to one of the most commonly encountered biases.
