Notes

  1. Posted (in Hebrew) on the website of the Israeli Ministry of Health, http://www.health.gov.il/pages/steinberg.htm, all other healthcare related laws are available in that site as well.

  2. There is no suggestion to pray for healing since it is a commonplace in Judaism that one does not pray for miracles.
