Our visits to the wounded soldiers in hospitals and re-habilitation centers is ongoing. Besides the gifts and comfort we are bringing them directly, we are provid-ing many services to their families so they can spend as much time as possible at the bedsides of their loved ones.
For those who have suffered the greatest loss with the death of their loved ones during the con-flict, we arebringing financial support, emo-tional comfort, and practical help as they struggle to regain their lives. We are at their sides contin-ually.
Our work will continue with all these soldiers and their families, as well as with the 3000 other fam-ilies shattered by terror and war who were in our care before the
conflict began. And we will do so for as long as they need us – whether that is a month, a year, or many years. This is just a part of what makes CTVP unique – we are always there. And we can also be everywhere because of the resources of our 300 Chabad houses in every area of Israel.

St. Luke’s Spine & Pain Associates excels by offering an integrative approach with leading-edge pain management and surgical techniques as well as hospital-quality care in its procedure suites. Fellowship-trained physicians and specialty-trained nurse practitioners offer a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures along with specialized care to reduce patients’ pain and improve their quality of life.
“Each of our five offices is connected to a hospital-based pain procedure suite that provides a very comfortable environment and experience for our patients and in a friendlier and unintimidating environment. It also allows us to provide patients with re-assurance and continuity of care as they interact with the same staff during their visit as they do during their procedure,” Dr. Loev, the Medical Director of the outpatient pain medicine program, explains.
“We are great believers in doing right by our patients,” Dr. Loev explains. “Some clearly need interventional treatment, but for others, the cause of pain is not that obvious. For those patients, our services are often diagnostic. We may refer our patients to other specialists and often recommend multi-modality therapies. For example, one patient’s treatment may include a medication management program coupled with physical therapy.”
Depending on a patient’s history, consultation and evaluation, Dr. Loev and his associates may refer a patient to other specialties such as neurosurgery, physical therapy, orthopaedics, behavioral health and nutritionists, as well as other counselors.
“Being part of the St. Luke’s University Health Network offers many resources and advantages that other practices do not have, and we are very grateful to be able to draw on those resources,” says Dr. Loev. Locations include: Allentown, Bethlehem, East Stroudsburg, Easton, Quakertown.
Scott J. Loev, DO, was the recipient of
the National Purdue Partners Against
Pain Award and Pfizer Scholar in Pain
Management, which honors a fellow for
outstanding contributions to research and
patient care in pain management.
He earned his medical degree at the
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic
Medicine and served an internship in
internal medicine at the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
He also served an anesthesia residency
at Temple University School of Medicine
and a fellowship in interventional pain
medicine at the University of Pittsburgh
School of Medicine.

Easing Your PainThe Symobolism of OilVictory turned bittersweet when the Maccabees found that the Temple was desecrated and the pure oil needed to light the menorah was delayed. Miraculously, the Maccabees discovered a single jar of pure oil, with the seal of the Kohen Gadol (Jewish high priest) intact. With this oil, the holy Temple was reinaugurated. Why didn’t the Seleucids just destroy the oil? Oil is a symbol for holiness. It can permeate anything, yet when placed in water, it rises to the top. Delayed, not destroyed, oil is exactly what Antiochus IV wanted. He allowed the Jews to adhere to their culture and keep their laws, as long as it was “touched” by the Greek ideals and philosophy.Chassidic teachings explain that despite any entity that tries to sever our connection to G-dliness, the essence of a soul can never be delayed. is spark of holiness continuously burns and longs to be fanned into a great flame.
Th e universe was created to perpetuate light, and it is inherently good. But there are times when darkness invades G-d’s world. At such times, we search for the hidden “single jar of pure oil” the pure and indestructible spark of Creation, which radiates goodness and holiness.
The MiracleTh e Maccabees had done all that was physically possible, but the small jar of oil was only enough to light the candles of the menorah for one day. To prepare more oil would require a process of at least seven days. After defeating the world’s most powerful army and gaining religious freedom for generations to come, the Maccabees were not about to give up. Th ey lit the menorah with the little oil they found, and miraculously, the menorah shone for eight days, plus 2000 years, as Chanukah continues to illuminate our home and world today.
Why does G-d perform miracles? Without miracles, such as the oil found in the holy Temple, one might believe that the laws of physics deny reality. However, once we see the inexplicable, we witness a transcendent reality and attain a higher consciousness. We can then look back at physics, point with our finger and realize, “Th is too is a miracle.” Th e Baal Shem Tov said, “ The difference between nature and a miracle is the frequency.” The Kabbalah teaches that the ultimate miracle is not the splitting of the sea or the sun standing still. It is described as the subtle and, at the same time, dramatic transformation of the universe that will oc-cur with the arrival of Moshiach. At that time, nature itself will uncover its miraculous essence. What is now perceived as a wall between the physical and spiritual will be revealed as a bridge. How can we bring about this miracle? With the light of our collective mitzvot.

happening, does not recognize the miracle.” And the Tanya goes on to say that the greatest miracles are those which He alone knows about, where “the recipient of the miracle is not aware of his own miracle”. What does this mean? Can I really sing like Whitney Houston? Not quite.
I think that Chanukah is a reminder that not only did G-d create a miracle for the Maccabees, but He also creates miracles for us on a daily basis. Moreover, these extraordinary miracles remind us that all of life, even the tiniest facets of our very ordinary days, is in fact one big miracle.
After I thought it through, it amazed me how simple the concept actually was; it then perplexed me as to why it was so difficult to practice this belief on a daily basis. It takes work. It takes dedication. It takes Chanukah. I think that we are all truly blessed that a holiday like Chanukah comes around every year. It’s our little ‘Divine Reminder’ that surprise visits from your mother, throwing in a load of laundry, and watching a child laugh for the first time are just as much a miracle as one jar of oil burning for eight days. Even when the last Chanukah candle burns down to the quick, light continues to shine into our world for as long as we allow ourselves to see it.
On behalf of my entire family, I wish you and yours a very happy, safe, and bright Chanukah. May we all sing loud, play a game of dreidel (or two), and merit to notice ALL of the miracles in our everyday lives. Chag Sameach.
