OU Live

welcome to oh you live my name is rabbit David Pardo we have an incredible lineup for you tonight stay stick around for an interview with Steve on behalf of a year World News Rakesh Luke hot to the US and claimed Israeli journalist and also for Rabbi Shmuel Robinson the rabbi of Lincoln Square synagogue if you are on Facebook on YouTube please feel to feel free to communicate with us by commenting and it comes below or email after the show oh you live at O you org we love reading your comments suggestions questions the meantime it's my distinct honor and privilege to introduce our next guest doctor a lot about hood is a the a tenured professor of pathology and cell biology and director of the Center for Advanced laboratory medicine at Columbia University Medical Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital dr. oh thank you for having me and thinking thank you for giving me the opportunity to to share what we're doing thank you for taking time out I always feel very humble when people to take time out to to join the show and to talk to our audience but all the more so every minute you're spending with us you're you are working literally 24/7 around the clock non-stop can you tell us about your work right now sure so maybe I'll just take a step back and I'll tell you that I am NOT a coronavirus researcher I'm a blood doctor and I study blood and about two weeks ago all the institutions in the New York area shut down all research laboratories basically to send people home to protect to protect them to send the students home and many health care workers and scientists decided that they weren't going to shut down their lab and they were going to switch to try to help in the effort and and that's what we did with many of my students who continue to come in and continue to work and and so what I wanted to share with you is is one of the approaches that we're doing and this is one of many approaches that that are going on at many institutions and we're all working together coming together to try to find cure or try to find treatments that will help people who have coronavirus and so the thing I'm working on is called convalescent plasma and I'm leading the effort I'm helping lead the effort at Columbia with other leaders that every at every one of the hospitals in New York and so I if I may I just want to explain what what convalescent plasma means and and what it is and so so so take a step back so the way your body fights a virus is by making antibodies against it and so your immune system knows how to has to learn how to recognize every different virus that's out there and the way it does that is it makes antibodies that are specific for that virus and so anyone who's had corona virus has for the most part made antibodies to that virus and then that's circulating in your blood and so the idea behind convalescent plasma if we can get that blood from people who have cleared the virus and we can potentially put it into others to try to help them clear the virus and so there are many sick people that we see in the hospital that we have no treatments for and we're hoping that we could try to use convalescent plasma to treat them there are other ways we can potentially use it so you could think about people in nursing homes so if we can get convalescent enough convalescent plasma we could potentially give every person in a nursing home convalescent plasma to prevent them from getting it and if it works and it works it's a it we don't we're not sure whether it will work and in which situations it will work but there's pretty good evidence there's some evidence from China that it might work and there's evidence from from nature that it works and so you should know that babies don't know how to make antibodies when they're born they don't learn how to make antibodies until four or five months of age and the way they're protected for those first three or four months of ages that actually get the antibodies from their mothers so the antibodies from the mother crossed the placenta enter the the baby's bloodstream and that helps provide protection for the baby during the first three or four months of life and so for example if if the Imai or the mom gets a vaccine for you know measles then the mom will make antibodies to the measles and that will cross the placenta and protect the baby so that the baby can not get measles during the first three or four months of life until those antibodies go away and the baby has to learn how to make them themselves so the idea here is not a vaccine and not inoculation but it is a way to give antibodies produced by survivors of corona virus to people who are most at risk for it exactly and there are people working on vaccines and ultimately that may be the way that we stop this thing but until we get there because that takes much longer to develop we need something to treat the patients who are now on respirators we need something to treat the patient who are now in the hospital and we don't have enough respirator for them you know we need to give them something we need to give them some hope and this is something that the that the community and especially the Jewish community could potentially do to help the situation because anyone who's had corona virus theoretically has made the antibodies and if they qualify to be blood donors can then go in and donate blood and help us and provide us with treatment options that can help us get people out of the hospital back home so that we can treat other patients that's that's astounding so if someone listening had corona by the how sure do you have to be video corona because especially till recently with the testing and hasn't been so clear or maybe I just had the flu siren how this is a big problem the testing is a big problem and we're working on that too I have another another team working on so in order to make this work we need to know who has antibodies included and so currently there is no FDA approved test for that we're working around the clock on that and I'm collecting blood from people to test so that we can validate those assays so that we know who has antibodies and he doesn't and then who has the right type of an of for this type of treatment and that's more complicated tests and so so the FDA is regulating this and and the FDA just came out with guidance today to tell us how this should be done and we're having another larger meeting tomorrow to figure out exactly how this is gonna work but it sounds like what they what they're gonna demand is that and this is for safety reasons is that it's going to be anyway at least initially it's anyone with a confirmed diagnosis via a no swab and then they have to be symptom-free for 14 days and then and then and then they could sign up to be screened to see if they have the right antibodies and so first there'll be a screening event which will we still have to figure out where that's gonna happen is it gonna be house ala ambulance is going out to the community to screen people or is it going to be in clinics throughout the New York area so where are we gonna screen people to be potential donor so that's another logistical hurdle for us and then we do need to do the testing to make sure their antibodies are the right kind of antibodies and then we need to call the man to donate blood at the near flood center who are gonna prepare who have the light the right license to prepare the blood to send to the various hospitals in the meantime we also have to coordinate the different trials that we're going to use this for so there's what are called indicate like I said before there are multiple indications so you could use it in a nursing home you can use it for healthcare workers who are out on the frontlines getting exposed every day so let's give each healthcare worker a shot of this to protect them let's give this to the people who are in the hospital but don't need a respirator now and see if it prevents them from meeting a respirator or ultimately you know someone is really sick we don't know what to do anymore we have no other treatment they're on a ventilator and they're really not doing well let's give them a shot and see if it can save their lives the quite overwhelming and so the well ask him before someone's watching right now and did recover and let's say they they got a nose swab and there they nose corona where do they go so at the moment I can't share that information because we haven't built that infrastructure yet that's the problem it's you know we've been working on this for you know less than two weeks and these kinds of trials and these kinds of studies and bringing the you're together to do this would take us two years three years if you know it takes us to three years to build a real trial and so doing this in the span of a week or two when all the health care system is focused on you know finding respirators and taking care of patients it's it's quite challenging but we're doing the best we can and that's why we're working and it's not just me I have to admit there are I have multiple colleagues across all the institutions in New York that are all working together and it's not just New York it's also you know I'm talking to people at Hopkins and induced and it's it's really an amazing I mean if it's a horribly amazing time let's put it that way but it's that the way people are coming together is really inspiring incredibly impressive so there's so we'll keep our eyes and ears open for when the infrastructure is built and you're you're working around the clock what how do you how do you push yourself to do that you know so so four of my students are are from Italy and you know when the Italian news started hitting and their parents are at home it really hit home and they would come into work every day and cry and and we you know it's it's scary and and and it's real and everyone is scared and you know this was my training and and this is what I was meant to do and so I'm not gonna I'm not going to stop but you know until we find something inspiring thank you doctor thank you for your time thank you for sharing with us and for raising our awareness and also thank you for your what you're doing and please as soon as we have the infrastructure and we have something somewhere for you to go we will share it with the community and please volunteer but don't be disappointed if you don't get called right away because again it's it's challenging and and and we have limited staff and limited every resources and so we're doing the best we can I God willing you'll have everything you need to complete the work thank you so much okay have a have a easy rest of the day and and success of salsa thank you thank you thank you for the opportunity you are on oh you live my name is rabbi david Pardo we have a great lineup for you the rest of the night stay in your seat we're going to have an up close and personal with Rabbi Shalom Anson really one of the most impressive Shore rabbis I want to say in the country I'm afraid he might be watching and don't embarrass him in the meantime though I'd like to introduce Sivan Rahad me here she is the world Mizrahi looka to North America she's an israeli journalist and media personality lecturer she's also very popular teacher of the Perisher Zevon you please join us just turn on your video and your mic see you on either I see that hi John can you hear me can you hear me looks like you're coming at us from New York City do you hear me yeah now I can yeah okay it's hard I can't hear you maybe send me a link okay on whatsapp or anywhere I can join you know and see everything and that way can I will be able to hear you right now I see you but I can't hear wait a minute I'll try maybe let's see any now do hear me now yeah I can hear you can hear me oh yeah great awesome I mean I'm very confused about the other Siva and who's also here okay I guess I guess this is very curve you were just uh I believe you're just teaching and in the world they need rash right sumif in much easier than speaking to people over the phone yeah miss do men today that that's amazing I take it from your background that you're still with us here in New York City and you haven't made it back to Israel yeah although every morning we still of I mean we're we what should we you know what should we do we decided you know we think about me you're you're considering going back to Israel saying and be dude for for a couple weeks and and living it out there what can I tell you we hardly go out I wait here at home everything stopped you know everyday look schedule so today I was supposed to be in Palo Alto nice drink yeah the nice places to be I guess you could keep flipping the background so you get to the place that you want to visit the I so your your for a year in the u.s. your ash Luka you and your husband I guess easily F technically of world Mizrachi and until Corona hit you have been making the rounds and you have been in different communities and I'm curious to hear what's intrigued you what have you learned what uh what do American what should Americans know about themselves yeah so I think we learn two things but there is a contradiction here I mean first of all we really visited like dozens of communities all over the world America from Montreal to Texas from Dallas California everywhere beau Hashem it was fascinating with thousands of Rather's and there's new people we never met before and learn about them it was it was really so great that I wish we can continue I don't know we're all nobody know but on the one and I was really impressed I mean I saw something very impressive the way the communities are built you know the way the school is built does the strength of the community I remember the first time I was invited to a show I was like on a resident and they they took Tommy nice meeting you and someone said I'm the president of the show I was sure you know he is joking I mean why do you need a president in Israel my husband just goes Devin's minister comes back I don't know and in here it's different and it's like a center of of identity and it's really impressive to see the way with what you did and of course here but not only here I must say the owe you everything you do is very impressive I think I met you at the tour in New York event but so many like you work very hard about your identity you you know you don't even take it for granted and you you know you have to work hard you know it it's not a Jewish sake but on the other hand I feel after five months here maybe all I saw is the bubble a beautiful bubble really um um a successful bubble you know you can live your whole life you know and just you have oh you and why you you have the camp's and you have the gap years you know you have though those uh concept and that's beautiful but I can't forget that ninety percent eighty five percent of the Jewish population here in America are so far away from the bubble that they're not here with us where are they what should we do in the bubble and Israelis especially so many Israelis here so it's I think that it's is that the conclusion it's not to summarize everything but these are the first conclusions it's really interesting I I can share as a child of one of the Israelis who ended up here that the Israelis who end up here from the first half of your observation since that they're not in the Jewish state anymore the background music isn't Jewish anymore so they're really looking to belong they're more interested in meets a scheme in in finding that that Jewish spar because they have to because it's not gonna be obvious for their kids so they need to know your parents are Israelis and they said we sent you to a Jewish school republics they sent me to a Jewish school they thought it's a conservative day school yeah usually Israelis prefer the free public schools which are like good Jewish no so I grew up in LA and uh but my father's Israeli and my mother was from the former Soviet Union Russia Ukraine Hungary and that population in LA like had more in common with the Americans and they were meaning the Russians the Israelis of Persians they were all very traditional and traditional meant we don't be too crazy but we want to be like secular that's ridiculous oh sorry and we don't simulate I guess you don't we don't know no hostage well you know Friday nights right now we have to be with the family we have to watch TV together you know you can't go out that's got to stay here so conservative day school when I was younger everyone like Russians Israelis Persians second generation grew up in considered day schools and that it's a lot of the story of a good for you you know the direction you chose I guess so yeah so far so good it's funny to be raising my children now it with uh with a lifestyle that didn't grow with myself which you probably also are killing it's really are there's a pilot juvenile completely secular and no Persians in our family Ashkenazi secular family in Italy are in the center of Israel and it's really hard to educate your kids you know because my husband comes from but it's it's hard you know because now many violative are they make mistakes really serious mistakes you don't understand what it means to grow up as a as a religious child you know so I try not to you know intervene interfere my husband I trust them I see what he does I remember when my son was like five in once he didn't bench so I was you know maybe the way you say dear it's OTD of the day and what's going on and my friends is like my husband is like relax okay he's five what do you want so yeah bookish and we we tried you know the young old joke how many Bali Chabad does it take to screw in a lightbulb well you're allowed to do that see vine appreciate you coming on in spending time with us is there uh is there one final message that you want to share with the with the listeners the audience yeah first of all thank you for inviting me I can run away you know and leave the kids with all the mess all the polygons in the house for passes that's something really really didn't plan you know all by ourselves in New York I mean that's really quite a challenge I'm not complaining I mean other people are facing harder challenges but so thank you for inviting me you know I have to have a break although duzu shoe reamer are my breaks during the day seriously and it was fun discussing other issues with you you know the Israelis and that and the LA since I think we're focused on the core we talk about it all day think about it I don't know when was the last time the whole world spoke about the same thing for like a month I think never like you know where is such a media so we couldn't all discuss the same thing that's like you know the center of attention for for everyone um the only think you know I'm not a rabbit in an expert I'm sure that the message here you know as Jews I'm sure there's a lesson we should learn now what is the lesson so many life lessons here you know to be more simple and humble to focus on the house on the family to not to shop and buy and think the world you know belongs to us and we can do everything maybe it's a new version of wicked Albertville that were you know of the of the man mankind who tried to reach the top to be to think we are when I was created in the image of God the tenement opium we are in a way we are God we even reach up you know we climb and we think in a way I think it represents maybe the world we had before and maybe that's you know I don't wanna be too symbolic but maybe that's the that's the lesson we should learn and each individual should you know sit in thinking I mean what went wrong with my life I certainly have you know my conclusions where was I wrong I exaggerated here and there and you know it really it's it's really everything changes I just think of we're here for two weeks just us you know 24/7 Kabbalat Shabbat all we're always that we do it's it's and we all we all experience those I mean I have those moments when I look at the house and I'm like is it a nightmare is this paradise sometimes it's like you know get it then it's it's paradise were just us we need something and sometimes it's like a nightmare where will it end you know I I dreamt he was dreaming about the yellow bus you know the transportation that in New York you have that yellow bus here we don't have that color in Israel I was really dreaming about that yellow was just coming here picking the kids taking him to learn something serious with serious teachers and not with me all day it's really it's confusing and we as Jews should always think about you know what it means to us how can we be better the fact that you're dreaming about yellow buses tells me that you've been in code for too long Amazon Prime you know I miss think about it I'm here only for five months and in Israel we don't have Amazon Prime yet I'm so addicted now he doesn't it's it's you know it's broken Amazon it takes to make a week or two weeks parts of ramazan Prime they don't exist anymore and I you know we became a who can't live you know if when I go back to Israel I got used to those awful things in life Savan if people watching like you know two of them who haven't heard of you before I want to learn more about you we learn from you get in those whatsapp groups where do they find you online Wow just google my name there's a site there's an English serious English version of the site now from you calm you're going to find everything there there are weekly lectures weekly messages translated into English I write like a short paragraph every day and you can follow and be there and basically I'm quite available especially now when there's nothing in the schedule you know but yeah I wish to you know I don't know I think we're going back after press that it's it's quite crazy to stay I think it's quite stable I don't think the schools will be opened again this year it looks like so um but it was a great experience you know and I hope to continue when they come back to the communities to meet to talk to be together it's and of course I hope you will come to Israel maybe leave them in his way so that's basically you know it's a good reason to cancel and change everything because I guess there were the world is going toward that direction so for the final redemption I'm willing to cancel all my plans and then and then it's awesome I can't wait till though my dreams are filled with the green buses [Laughter] like this is oh you live I'm gonna have a David Pardo thanks for joining us I am I'm thrilled to introduce our next guest rabbi Scholl Robinson originally from Glasgow after he completed his MBA he took on extensive studies in Israel he was the first full-time chaplain student happened at the University of Cambridge and a rabbi of the barn a synagogue in North London until 2005 when New York City was lucky enough to get him as the rabbi of Lincoln Square synagogue where he has been ever since rabbi Robinson good to see you likewise how you doing good we're hanging in there thank you very much yeah please tell me more about the the hanging in there I would love to what does that mean to you look we're all processing I think we all understand or we're beginning to understand there were really the beginning of a very long roads and none of us really quite know how long that road is going to be a bumpy it's gonna be if you like me we're probably reading news googling or scrolling or looking for points of information that are either falsely hopeful or possibly excessively do making so we're all confused and we're all we're all very much struggling at a time like this there's no question about it people are feeling isolated and people have lost much of the much of what binds people together the natural ability to come together in shul even the nectar ability to walk down the street are going to store and not look at every other person around you as a potential threat so many many things that we take for granted are you know have unraveled and we know that they will stitch together again but nobody knows when so your your job is a show rabbi is often to help people articulate what they're feeling and help them work through it what they're feeling I'm curious what you uniquely as the the rabbi whose job that is how is that falling on you and what what how is your job changing how are the pressure is changing and how are you coping with those and adjusting to it thank you for inviting me on the the show tonight I was chatting to a colleague ah in the neighboring cool before and we both remark that we never actually expected to be quite so busy at this time when we heard the shows were closing really the thing that was you know the end we were gonna be out of work and you know um you know not the show will be closing Berman and they would be a loss to do well much of what we do in the shul is show up and the day brings what it brings clearly rabbis and indeed in many many cases shoes are busier than ever we'll talk a few moments about zoom and taking a community online what you can do what you cannot do what you should do what might never go back to being the same but there are immense needs and opportunities I've been giving classes in Shoreham I have to say my Tuesday morning partial class had three times a number of attendees as it does when it meets in that in person partly some people just can't physically get their people from X members of the shul live all over the country joined in partly of course because people really are looking to fill their day and shoes have a tremendous responsibility to help people fill what could be tremendous amount of blank time there are some people who are going through this as I'm talking particularly as a Manhattan rabbi as juggling two jobs or a jug both couples working with children in school online all in a relatively small apartments other people are retirees singles or empty nesters who have weeks and weeks and weeks of social isolation stretching before them and those are different challenges and shoes are looking to fill those those gaps and people are those those needs are the gaps are used apartment there's an amazing job in providing regular fun programming storytime with the youth director and Calla baking online etc and the shul is working very very hard on shooting and classes Lincoln Square City the other night had a town hall meeting we just wanted to give people an opportunity first of all to hear about what was happening in the shul this was last Wednesday night so in other words in coronavirus years it was about six months ago and hundreds of people joined the call and wanted to know wanted to hear and wanted to be able to connect this morning when I started my partial class I typically always run a little few minutes late before giving a shear while I was just putting the final preparations I actually decided to leave everybody unmuted and there were conversations going on it was actually one of the nicest things that I'd heard in the longest time people being able to speak to each other in a crowded environment voice is cutting across each other it brought back some of the some of the you know some of the vibrancy of show life that that we all miss through trying hearts we've taken an astonishing amount online people really congratulate the Jewish educators I say our and others who've done an amazing job and take an entire program in our all schools online I don't think anybody would have credited the swiftness and the adaptability of Jewish educators and now I'm seeing the same intial obviously with the barrier of minyan of Phillip at sabor a connectedness and classes online and other things are you know people are people are extraordinarily thirsty for that kind of thing and and you know Rabbi Hauer was on in Corona years I can't remember some time ago he remarked that we've been to crying cellphones and jewels for years like the killer of community and the killer of focus and the code she's the worst thing and now it's the only it's the only way we're we're still vomiting together and learning together and creating community so I'm curious God willing this will pass this this will also be part of a part of our history really and when that happens I'm curious your opinion what's gonna stick what's not what is gonna stick that we wish wouldn't what is going to be you know our zoom shooting going to become the staple or an addendum how is this going to transform the way we the way we conduct their business in the way we think about ourselves as a community how would you like it to also well that's an excellent question look nobody knows how long this is going to last and it could be that next year this time next year this will all be a memory remember when we were all making place at home we were asking these questions nobody could go to the rabbi to sell comments etc it's entirely possible that this it's it's maybe wishful thinking to think that this will be such a brief interruption in our lives the things and iquilibrium will really go back to to normal but we are facing huge challenges in the future I've actually been speaking and I really really sincerely my job is to project a upbeat and hopeful message to the community and and to help people understand that this is really a temporary phenomena at the same time some things are gonna change and they're gonna change permanently some things are better as I mentioned before having many more people able to take a class because it's offered online probably in the future motions will be offering and dial in or resume opportunity for learning even though I think as soon as we're able to go back to shul people will very much want to engage again in person but there are also we're at the beginning of a wave here everybody is you know by the time we get out of our be dudes zoom might even be you know yesterday's technology we have no idea how adaptable we're going to discover and and what new modalities we're gonna have so certainly there's gonna be more on time learning and more online learning certainly also rabbis are gonna be anxious that things which are really be the event are really not ideal options in hahaha don't become the standard defaults two weeks ago and poor him hard cement it was two weeks ago rabbis were so searching if we allow you to do Magilla online will anybody go why would a me old why would anybody call the rabbi to arrange a private McKinney reading why would anybody go to shul for Magilla reading again only the death of Sheol it's gonna be the death of soul never long those are valid concerns those are those are those are indeed valid concerns that's why I think the some reluctance regarding me on him I think you know there's a sac that came out today from some Moroccan rabbis I'm already being a clearly pressure to walk it back a little bit regarding a Skype or zoom sadaham look as a rabbi of many scores of people who will be having Seder night by themselves these are heartbreaking situations and it's very difficult to know whether you say to somebody look hey Thomas Holcomb a post-second this you know use this tack if you wish I supposed to say to somebody you know you ought not do this this is not correct these are very very very difficult decisions that we have to make the other point I want to emphasize however it's something which is really going destroyed really well and not just a Lincoln Square so no but I'm sure in every show worth its name which is the asset the outpouring of of simple people making them there for each other calling seniors calling people or shot and calling people who are are vulnerable offering shopping services now obviously social isolation it's exactly that and you better finish you cannot get too close to person but simply I am in him day inundated with many more requests to help to allow me to help people that I am for people needing help and that's really a remarkable thing how much I said and how much community building it's gonna go on I tell the shul even on days when I personally we all go in waves and that's don't always feel as quite so upbeat as I should we all have days that at that moment I tell the shoulder we'll get through this stronger and we will not just be stronger on the other side but will be stronger during it and I really believe that there's a tremendous sense of community my concern is that if this goes on for eight weeks 10 weeks you know it could be that schools won't be able to open up for months and months and months because even when the strictest you know stay at home orders are done public assemblies of anything others are very limited nature's are gonna be are going to be very limited and then you'll have a question if Shirl isn't open or Rosh Hashana are people gonna pay membership if you wouldn't think use we could be with the economic crisis and everything else happening we could be looking at the unraveling of much of the infrastructure of Jewish life unfortunately that's a reality but a sieve and said and I wasn't the shul that she meant the President Lincoln ago it was the first shul she two or three years ago Lea's worse it was the first shul in America that's even Rahab mayor's okay you're the you're the sword the president no I don't think that I don't think will issue the president cuz then she wasn't officially a scholar in residence it was a private thing that was arranged for a mutual acquaintance she and her husband came to us for Travis she could have asked her to clarify this you did you her husband wrote an incredible column in there Michelle I think it was the following week about her blown away he was by the program of the standard shul so she definitely had that experience at at Lincoln Square look Sivan said you know there's gonna be a new reality I found and I just say this that's been giving me physic in these days is you know it's crazy to imagine that New York City it's probably gonna go down as the worst equipped and the place had suffered the most during this virus our country and the city in particular it's possible to lose faith in America we can never lose faith in the Jewish people and I'm actually been MacIsaac myself in many many ways that a moose or elk i none of us know how much the world will have changed when we come out of this and out of this doesn't mean in six weeks eight weeks when the bell curve begins to go down and it should go slow so that more people don't need to go into the ICU and everything when we come out of the you know that the other said the long-term other sides I'm finding myself with the fact that you know that we're Jews and we've seen worse we've lived through worse and there were an eternal people and that our fundamental way of life whether this school this you will god forbids goes through some kind of existential crisis is one thing but I miss Rydell High where internal people and you know that's why Pesach is such an important season even for people who cannot be with family even for people who have to be by themselves this year we're literally hanging on embracing the idea that we are Jews and that that's what we're hanging on to and Pesach and that we'll get through this and I could borrow who is with us all all of humanity there's a brief that I cover Sparkle made with the Jewish people as long as we're part of that is with us with that question very powerful word is rabbi Robinson for people who heard you for the first time and want to maybe join be one of the 300 people and one of those zoom Shira more or find you online somehow connect they can't come to Lincoln Square synagogue the Shabbos so what's there it's kind of an irony that a friend of mine I'm fairly activist you may know in social media particularly on Facebook the patience or the guts for Twitter but hi a friend of mine her face we pointed out the other day that you know it used to be the rabbi's were quote-unquote competing with the rabbi at down the block or the three or four shoes in walking distance know everybody is offering the Kabbalat Shabbat musical and they'll are
