An appreciation note from the Israel Program Director at Temple Shaaray Tefila, Manhattan, New York, following Dr Brook's talk on May 19, 2014

Dr. Brook,

Thank you very much for such a meaningful and inspiring event.

I knew it would be great, but I didn't realize how great. Everyone came up to me that night and afterwards and told me how meaningful and moving your talk was, and how much they learned about the war which they thought they knew.

I wish you all the best and thank you again for such a great experience that will not be forgotten.

L'Hitraot

The power of a hug in patient care

A 5 minute interview I had (filmed by Yoni) as part of a documentary about the power of a hug and human touch in patient care.  Discovering the importance of these was a new revelation for me.
