This is a vintage video and is being shared here for its historical value and its content, not for the quality of its video.

This presentation took place in 1993 at the International Conference on Judaism and Contemporary Medicine. The video recording is courtesy of Dr. Michael-Moshe Akerman M.D. who is the director of the conference.
