David Applebaum (1952–2003) was an American-born Israeli physician and rabbi. He was chief of the emergency room and trauma services of Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Applebaum was murdered in a Palestinian suicide bombing at Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem on September 9, 2003. ==Biography== David Applebaum was born in Detroit, Michigan. He attended high school at the Hebrew Theological College in Skokie, Illinois and received his rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Aaron Soloveitchik at the Brisk yeshiva in Chicago. Applebaum was a graduate of Roosevelt University in Chicago, with a master's degree in biological sciences from Northwestern University. He earned his medical degree at the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo, Ohio in 1978.〔( A Healer of Terror Victims Becomes One, Greg Myre, New York Times, September 11, 2003 )〕〔"The Lancet," Volume 362, Issue 9389, 27 September 2003, Page 1083〕 Applebaum was killed along with his 20-year-old daughter, Nava Applebaum, on the eve of her wedding.〔〔( Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Dr. David Appelbaum, 9 Sep 2003 )]〕 Applebaum had just returned from New York, where he addressed a symposium on terrorism marking the second anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States. He ended his remarks with: "From one moment to the next, we never know what will happen in the ER (room ), but it's in Jerusalem that real reality occurs."〔 Applebaum's murder was described by ''The Lancet'' as a tragic irony: This victim of a suicide bomber was himself an "emergency room doctor who treated victims of dozens of suicide bombings in Israel."〔 In an incident in 1984, Applebaum rushed to aid a man shot in a clothing shop, operating on him while the shooting continued.〔 In 1986, the Israeli Knesset presented Applebaum with the Quality of Life Award for treating terror victims on King George Street in Jerusalem while bullets flew around him.〔 Applebaum’s younger daughter, Shira, earned her paramedic degree from Ben-Gurion University's Health Sciences Faculty, and works in emergency medicine.〔( Dr. David Applebaum's daughter starts medical career, JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH, Jerusalem Post, Nov 23, 2006 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Applebaum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
