Looking For A Needle Maker...

The Conservative Movement of Israel is running a campaign, in light of the vote to extend the funding for avreichim by another 5 years after which it would be severely cut and limited, to support and encourage the move into the work world.

They are currently running the following ad, which I thought was worth sharing due to its originality and provocativeness. It is designed as if it is a page out of the Yellow Pages business phone book and is a listing of different service providers and the businesses listed under each one are various tannaim and amoraim who held such jobs and professions.
Definitely an original and uniquely designed ad..

    I once heard that the proper question isn't why our rabbis aren't doctors like the Rambam. It's why our doctors aren't rabbis like the Rambam...

    Mike didn't you used to have a shul Rabbi who said medicine is a bad profession for good Jewish boys (i.e. who want to learn)? Perhaps you had switched shuls....

    I don't know. I never heard that from anyone, but it makes sense. It's very hard to learn full time and study medicine...

    I think I heard my original quote from R' Berel Wein, but I'm not positive.

    I wonder why our rabbis aren't rabbis like the Rambam.
