Medicine? Can’t the Rabbis just fight off the swine flu with a Shofar?

Rabbis attempt to fight off swine flu by blowing shofars. Accompanied by prayer, of course.

A group of rabbis and Jewish mystics have taken to the skies over Israel, praying and blowing ceremonial trumpets to ward off swine flu.

About 50 religious leaders circled over the country on Monday, chanting prayers and blowing the horns called “shofars”.

The flight’s aim was “to stop the pandemic so people will stop dying from it,” Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri was quoted as saying in Yedioth Aharanot newspaper.

The flu is often referred to as H1N1 in Israel, where pigs are seen as unclean.

Thanks to BBC for this gem I can’t unsee. Watch the video here.

If hot air could ward off the flu, politicians would never get it.

Thank you very much for the new information in medicine and health! I'm a doctor, that's why it is very important for me. Can you answer my few questions in ICQ?
