Hardly a week goes by that a medical, scientific or technological breakthrough is not developed in Israel – a development that Israel gladly shares with the world. But other news from Israel and the Middle East dominates the headlines, and these breakthroughs and developments rarely are exposed to the public.

This Thursday, Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in Elkins Park, Greater Philadelphia ZOA will present demonstrations of the remarkable life-improving devices ReWalk which helps paraplegics walk, and Orcam, which helps the blind to see, at a meeting focusing on “Accentuating the Positive: Israel Brings Light, Life and So Much More to the Nations.” The meeting will take place at Beth Sholom Congregation, 8231 Old York Road in Elkins Park.

In addition to a demonstration of ReWalk by someone who uses the device, and a presentation on Orcam by a representative of the company, the featured speaker will be Mark Cohen, president and founder of Israel Ideas, who will offer an audio/video presentation of some of the modern marvels that are developed in Israel.

The meeting is free and open to the public.
