They are both sensitive, considerate, open, understanding, and easy to communicate with. Over time, with his many illnesses and hospital admissions, our connection grew stronger. Kalmi had immigrated to Israel from Egypt after the revolution of 1952, and we spoke of the time of Mohammad Naguib, Egypt’s first president after the revolution, about Arabic language and literature, and Middle-Eastern culture and cuisine. Mordechai had worked, among others, as a tour guide in Cyprus, and we discussed places to visit. We found many different topics for conversation, above and beyond his illnesses. The day we diagnosed his aortic aneurysm, I had to administer an exam to medical students at Tel Aviv University. I remember standing in a sea of people on a noisy train station platform, speaking with the intern at Internal Medicine D who was caring for Mordechai. I actually ordered him not to leave Mordechai’s bedside, and only return to the department after he had transferred him to the care of the vascular surgeons. And that’s what happened. When Kalmi would text me in a panic over a change in Mordechai’s condition, I would make every effort to explain things to her, to help her calm down. And when Mordechai and Kalmi came for checkups at the outpatient clinics, they would always surprise me with a visit. I was always so pleased to see them together. I will always remember: “When we diagnosed Mordechai’s aortic aneurysm, he was admitted to the Vascular Surgery Department, where he underwent surgery to implant a stent. I remember that I came to visit him in that department, which had a little porch. It was late when I got there, and Mordechai and Kalmi were sitting next to each other on the porch with their backs to me, quietly looking at the view. Prof. Mogher Khamaisi Seeing her dedication and their love, just like a pair of love birds, was the most touching sight.” 4 Rambam on call | SEPTEMBER 2018 Mordechai and Kalmi Recanati Kalmi Recanati: “Our lives changed on the first of emotional support, and texted answers to my questions September 2017.

  • Architect Joseph Klarwein Was the Winner of the 1957 Contest for Planning the Knesset Building on Givat Ram
    Handout 1 Knesset Architect Joseph Klarwein was the winner of the 1957 contest for planning the Knesset building on Givat Ram. His initial proposal presented at the contest was ultimately very different than the building that was inaugurated on August 30th 1966. In fact, it was influenced by different architects that were involved in different parts of the planning and construction throughout its nine years, and among them were architect Dov Carmi and his son Ram. In textbooks written on the Knesset building, it is claimed that the planners intended to build a construction similar to the Greek Acropolis. Those who worked on the building programs before the contest had very little idea on how they wanted the building to look, and the result – an architectural mixture – surprisingly resembled the building of the United States’ embassy in Athens. The embassy was designed by the renowned Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, which was later considered as a specimen of the “International Style.” Klarwein’s original model was comprised of a rectangular construction with 20 columns on its front and back, 15 columns on each side, and two internal yards on the eastern and western sides of the plenum hall found at the center of the building. The entrance to the building was to be on its northern front. The constructed building was square, with 10 columns on all sides, and with no internal yards; the plenum is not at its center, but on its eastern part; and west to the plenum hall there is a reception hall. This hall is named “Chagall State Hall,” as it is decorated with art created by the Russian-born Jewish artist, Marc Chagall.

The paper examines these collaborative patterns in hospital settings in Israel. On the theoretical level the specific issues relate to theories concerning relationships between dominant institutional structures which enjoy the benefits of epistemological legitimacy as well as extensive, supportive social structures and groups of non-conformists who seek to at- tain many of the same goals by utilizing different methods based on other epistemologies. In the most general sense the issues involved concern processes of accommodation and social change. In an effort to examine the dynamics of the processes involved, data were collected twice: In 2000-2001, in an extensive re- search undertaking when CAM was beginning to show its presence in hospital settings and again in 2015 when a more modest second round of supplementary research was undertaken in an effort to observe changes over time.
