Moishy Pashkus, a Haredi student, began studying medicine at Tel Aviv University after completing the MediCamp preparatory program as part of the "Haredim for Medicine" initiative. According to data from the Kamah Foundation, 54% of the program's graduates were accepted this year to medical schools in Israel, including Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University. Pashkus shared his excitement, the workload, and the cultural shock he experienced in the first weeks, but noted that he did not feel treated differently because of his Haredi background. Prof. Yossi Makori, head of the program, said the figure proves the potential within the Haredi community and the need for doctors in Israel. The conference also included Haredi students, their families, and Haredi doctors, and discussed the intersection of medicine and Jewish law.
