Compensation The aggregate direct compensation paid or accrued on behalf of all directors and executive officers as a group during 2004 was , 480, 656. This amount includes directors' fees and expenses for non-employee directors of 9, 000 and amounts set aside or accrued to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits of 7, 000. This amount does not include , 033, 226 from the exercise of previously granted stock options, nor expenses including business travel, professional and business association dues and expenses ; reimbursed to officers and directors and other fringe benefits commonly reimbursed or paid by companies in Israel. None of the nonemployee directors have agreements with Teva that provide for benefits upon termination of service. Teva has adopted a number of stock option or stock incentive programs in the past, as have certain of its subsidiaries, principally Teva USA and its predecessor entities, covering either ordinary shares or ADRs. In 2004, Teva's executive officers were granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1, 963, 000 ordinary shares or ADRs, at an average exercise price of .77 per share or ADR and an average expiration date in 2011. As of December 31, 2004, options for an aggregate of 37, 339, 657 shares, with an average exercise price of .16 per share, are outstanding under Teva's stock option and incentive programs, with options for an aggregate of approximately 0.2 million shares available for future grant. For further information regarding outstanding Teva options, see Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Board Practices Teva's board of directors is comprised of 14 persons, of which ten have been determined to be independent within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq regulations. The Board includes two independent directors mandated under Israeli law and subject to additional criteria to help ensure their independence. See "-- Statutory Independent Directors" below. The terms of the directors are set forth in the table above. All directors are entitled to review and retain copies of Teva's documentation and examine Teva's assets, as required to perform their duties as directors and to receive assistance, in special cases, from outside experts at the expense of Teva subject to approval by the Board or by court ; . Board Practices and Procedures. Teva's Board members are generally elected for terms of three years. Teva believes that this system of multi-year terms allows Teva's directors to acquire and provide Teva with the benefit of a high level of expertise with respect to its complex business. 73.

Maximal inhibition of lamotrigine clearance was reached at valproate doses between 250 mg day and 500 mg day and did not increase as the valproate dose was further increased. Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, Phenobarbital, or Primidoen Added to LAMICTAL: The addition of these AEDs decreases lamotrigine steady-state concentrations by approximately 40%. Oxcarbazepine Added to LAMICTAL: The AUC and Cmax of lamotrigine were similar following the addition of oxcarbazepine 600 mg twice daily ; to LAMICTAL 200 mg once daily ; in healthy male volunteers n 13 ; compared to healthy male volunteers receiving LAMICTAL alone n 13 ; . Limited clinical data suggest a higher incidence of headache, dizziness, nausea, and somnolence with coadministration of LAMICTAL and oxcarbazepine compared to LAMICTAL alone or oxcarbazepine alone. Levetiracetam Added to LAMICTAL: Potential drug interactions between levetiracetam and lamotrigine were assessed by evaluating serum concentrations of both agents during placebo-controlled clinical trials. These data indicate that levetiracetam does not influence the pharmacokinetics of lamotrigine. Bupropion Added to LAMICTAL: The pharmacokinetics of a 100-mg single dose of lamotrigine in 12 healthy volunteers were not changed by co-administration of bupropion at 300 mg day starting 11 days before the lamotrigine dose. Olanzapine Added to LAMICTAL: The AUC and Cmax of lamotrigine was reduced on average by 24% and 20%, respectively, following the addition of olanzapine 15 mg once daily ; to LAMICTAL 200 mg once daily ; in healthy male volunteers n 16 ; compared to healthy male volunteers receiving LAMICTAL alone n 12 ; . This reduction in lamotrigine plasma concentrations is not expected to be clinically relevant. Other Psychotropic Drugs Added to LAMICTAL: Results of in vitro experiments suggest that clearance of lamotrigine is unlikely to be reduced by concomitant administration of amitriptyline, clonazepam, clozapine, fluoxetine, haloperidol, lorazepam, phenelzine, risperidone, sertraline, or trazodone see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism ; . Rifampin Added to LAMICTAL: In a study in 10 male volunteers, rifampin 600 mg day for 5 days ; significantly increased the apparent clearance of a single 25 mg dose of lamotrigine by approximately 2-fold AUC decreased by approximately 40% ; . Interactions With Folate Inhibitors: Lamotrigine is an inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase. Prescribers should be aware of this action when prescribing other medications that inhibit folate metabolism. Interactions With Oral Contraceptives: Effect of Oral Contraceptives on LAMICTAL: In a study in 16 female volunteers, an oral contraceptive preparation containing 30 mcg ethinylestradiol and 150 mcg levonorgestrel increased the apparent clearance of lamotrigine 300 mg day ; by approximately two fold with a mean decrease in AUC of 52% and in Cmax of 39%. In this study, trough serum lamotrigine concentrations gradually increased and.

We have found that IME display lower scores in measures of verbal acquisition at both two and three years of age. Though there was no difference in physical growth parameters between IME and controls, IME scored significantly lower in the Bailey Scale of Infant Development's mental developmental index MDI ; at two and three years. They also performed significantly less well on the Bates Bretherton early language inventory p 0.02 ; and in the Peabody Picture Vocabulary's scales of verbal reasoning p 0.001 ; and composite IQ p 0.01 ; , and they displayed significantly shorter mean lengths of utterance p 0.001 ; , Leavitt et al. 1990 ; . Polytherapy exposed infants performed significantly less well on neuropsychometric testing than those exposed to monotherapy. Socioeconomic status had the strongest association with poor test scores, but maternal seizures during pregnancy was also a significant risk factor Losche et al. 1994 ; . Leonard et al 1997 ; has in part addressed the question of whether maternal seizures or in utero exposure to AEDs are responsible for the developmental delay seen. A group of children of mothers with epilepsy followed to school age were found to have a rate of intellectual deficiency of 8.6%. The Wechler Intelligence Scale for Children revealed significantly lower scores for children exposed to seizures during gestation 100.3 ; , than for children whose mother's seizures were controlled 104.1 ; or controls 112.9 ; . All AED are clearly not created equal and Koch and co-workers 1999 ; have demonstrated that primidone particularly when used in polytherapy is associated with lower Wechler score of intelligence. Syndromes of Anomalies In distinction to malformations, which are deformities of anatomy requiring medical or surgical intervention to maintain a functionally healthy person, anomalies are abnormalities of structure, which, while varying from the norm, do not constitute a threat to health. Patterns of anomalies in IMEs have been noted with certain AED exposure. Five clinical syndromes have been reported in IMEs: fetal trimethadione syndrome, fetal hydantoin syndrome, a primidone embryopathy, a fetal valproate syndrome, and a fetal carbamazepine syndrome. Dysmorphic facial features have also been described with benzodiazepines and lamotrigine. The clinical features of these syndromes primarily involve dysmorphic features of the midface. Moore and colleagues 2000 ; , suggest that learning and behavior disturbances are an important aspect of these syndromic anomalies. In an unselected cohort of 52 affected children 77% were found to have developmental delay, 81% to have autistic behaviors, and 39% hyperactivity. Clinical and laboratory evidence clearly supports the association of certain anticonvulsants with teratogenic effects, especially facial and distal digital anomalies. However, the existence of drug-specific syndromes is doubtful. Facial dysmorphism is difficult to quantify and clearly is not drug-specific. Infants of epileptic mothers with similar dysmorphic features have been described in the preanticonvulsant era Baptist ; , 1938; Philbert and Dam, 1982 ; . Follow-up of these infants into adult life has yet to be accomplished, and therefore the!

Vitamin D supplementation may be needed during long-term Mysoline therapy, since vitamin D catabolism may be increased. Exceptionally, as with phenytoin and phenobarbitone, megaloblastic anaemia may develop requiring discontinuation of primidone. This condition may respond to treatment with folic acid and or Vitamin B12. 4.9 Overdose Pfimidone is metabolised extensively to phenobarbitone and overdosage leads to varying degrees of CNS depression which, depending on the dose ingested, may include ataxia, loss of consciousness, respiratory depression and coma. Crystalluria may occur in overdosage and could be used as a helpful diagnostic aid where primidone overdosage is suspected. Depending on the severity of intoxication, therapy should include aspiration of stomach contents, administration of activated charcoal, administration of intravenous fluids, forced alkaline diuresis striving for a urine pH of 8.0 ; , and general supportive measures. In more life threatening circumstances, haemoperfusion if the patient is hypotensive ; or haemodialysis are effective. There is no specific antidote.

Antiepileptic agents which induce drug-metabolising enzymes such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital and primidone ; enhance the metabolism of lamotrigine and may increase dose requirements. Sodium valproate, which competes with lamotrigine for hepatic drug-metabolising enzymes, reduces the metabolism of lamotrigine and increases the mean half life of lamotrigine nearly two fold. Although changes in the plasma concentrations of other antiepileptic drugs have been reported, controlled studies have shown no evidence that lamotrigine affects the plasma concentrations of concomitant antiepileptic drugs. Evidence from in vitro studies indicates that lamotrigine does not displace other antiepileptic drugs from protein binding sites. There have been reports of central nervous system events including headache, nausea, blurred vision, dizziness, diplopia and ataxia in patients taking carbamazepine following the introduction of lamotrigine. These events usually resolve when the dose of carbamazepine is reduced. Interactions involving Oral Contraceptives Effect of oral contraceptives on lamotrigine: Systemic lamotrigine concentrations are approximately halved during co-administration of oral contraceptives. This may result in reduced seizure control after the addition of an oral contraceptive, or adverse effects following withdrawal of an oral contraceptive. Dose adjustments of lamotrigine may be required see section 4.2 ; . In a study of 16 female volunteers, 30 mcg ethinylestradiol 150 mcg levonorgestrel in a combined oral contraceptive pill caused an approximately two-fold increase in lamotrigine oral clearance, resulting in an average 52% and 39% reduction in lamotrigine AUC and Cmax, respectively. Serum lamotrigine concentrations gradually increased during the course of the week of inactive medication e.g. "pill-free" week ; , with pre-dose concentrations at the end of the week of inactive medication being, on average, approximately two-fold higher than during co-therapy. The effect of other hormonal contraceptive products or hormone replacement therapy has not been evaluated although the effect may be similar. Effect of lamotrigine on oral contraceptives: Co-administration of 300mg lamotrigine in a study of 16 female volunteers had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of the ethinylestradiol component of a combined oral contraceptive pill. A modest increase in oral clearance of the levonorgestrel component was observed, resulting in an average 19% and 12% reduction in levonorgestrel AUC and Cmax, respectively. Measurement of serum follicle-stimulating hormone FSH ; , luteinising hormone LH ; and estradiol during the study indicated some loss of suppression of ovarian hormonal activity, although measurement of serum progesterone indicated that there was no hormonal evidence of ovulation in any of the 16 subjects. The impact of the modest increase in levonorgestrel clearance, and the changes in serum FSH and LH, on ovarian ovulatory activity is unknown see section 4.4 ; . Vaginal bleeding was reported by some volunteers see section 4.4 ; . The effects of doses of lamotrigine other than 300mg day have not been studied and studies with other female hormonal preparations have not been conducted. 4.6 Pregnancy and lactation Fertility Administration of Lamotrigine Tablets did not impair fertility in animal reproductive studies. There is no experience of the effect of Lamotrigine Tablets on human fertility. Teratogenicity Lamotrigine is a weak inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase. There is a theoretical risk of human foetal malformations when the mother is treated with a folate inhibitor during pregnancy. However, reproductive toxicology studies with Lamotrigine in animals at doses in excess of the human therapeutic dosage showed no teratogenic effects.
Hormonal contraceptive should only be used as the sole method of contraception if there is no other alternative. If the oral contraceptive pill is chosen as the sole method of contraception, women should be advised to promptly notify their physician if they experience changes in menstrual pattern e.g. breakthrough bleeding ; while taking Lamotrigine as this may be an indication of decreased contraceptive efficacy. Women taking Lamotrigine should notify their physician if they plan to start or stop use of oral contraceptives or other female hormonal preparations. As with other AEDs, abrupt withdrawal of Lamotrigine Tablets may provoke rebound seizures. Unless safety concerns for example rash ; require an abrupt withdrawal, the dose of Lamotrigine Tablets should be gradually decreased over a period of 2 weeks. During clinical experience with lamotrigine used as add-on therapy, there have been, rarely, deaths following rapidly progressive illnesses with status epilepticus, rhabdomyolysis, multiorgan dysfunction and disseminated intravascular coagulation DIC ; . The contribution of lamotrigine to these events remains to be established. Lamotrigine Tablets are a weak inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase hence there is a possibility of interference with folate metabolism during long-term therapy. However, during prolonged human dosing, lamotrigine did not induce significant changes in the haemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, or serum or red blood cell folate concentrations up to 1 year or red blood cell folate concentrations for up to 5 years. In single dose studies in subjects with end stage renal failure, plasma concentrations of lamotrigine were not significantly altered. However, accumulation of the glucuronide metabolite is to be expected; caution should therefore be exercised in treating patients with renal failure. In patients with severe hepatic impairment Child-Pugh grade C ; it has been shown that initial and maintenance doses should be reduced by 75%. Caution should be exercised when dosing this severely hepatically impaired population. These tablets contain aspartame, which is a source of phenylalanine. This may be harmful for patients with phenylketonuria. 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction UDP-glucuronyl transferases have been identified as the enzymes responsible for metabolism of lamotrigine. There is no evidence that lamotrigine causes clinically significant induction or inhibition of hepatic oxidative drug-metabolising enzymes, and interactions between lamotrigine and drugs metabolised by cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely to occur. Lamotrigine may induce its own metabolism but the effect is modest and unlikely to have significant clinical consequences. Table 3 Effects of other drugs on glucuronidation of lamotrigine Drugs that significantly inhibit glucuronidation of lamotrigine Valproate Drugs that significantly induce glucuronidation of lamotrigine Carbamazepine Phenytoin Priimdone Phenobarbital Rifampicin Ethinylestradiol levonorgestrel combination * * Other hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy have not been studied; they may similarly affect lamotrigine pharmacokinetic parameters and acetazolamide.
Good health communications can raise awareness of health risks and solutions, motivate people, increase demand for appropriate health services, help people make complex health decisions, and influence public policy. Communications is critical in helping the public separate research-based findings from untested claims. The work done by the centers aims to make new scientific research useful to everyone, not just the scientific community. The centers will explore both traditional newspapers, radio, and television ; and newer technologies computerized information systems ; to find the best mix of media and messages. The CECCR in Pennsylvania will look at how consumers' knowledge and behaviors are affected by the complex health information environment. In Wisconsin, researchers will explore helping cancer patients and their families using interactive computer systems. The center in Michigan will tailor health messages, using interactive computer technology, to match the information to the user's needs and background. St. Louis University will concentrate on communications and behavior change programs for African Americans. Each center will train students and young investigators in advanced cancer communication research skills. The content areas the CECCRs will examine include anti-smoking media campaigns for adolescents, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption among African Americans, helping women at high risk for breast cancer decide whether to take the drug tamoxifen, and how the public looks for information about prostate, breast, and colorectal cancers. Each project is funded for about million over 5 years.
PRECAUTIONS Do not exceed the recommended dose. Women with seizure disorders controlled on anticonvulsant medications e.g. phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone ; may have exacerbation of seizures when folic acid is taken. In cases of pernicious anaemia, the use of folic acid should be in conjunction with vitamin B12 in order to avoid neurologic complications. Any dose of folic acid over 1 mg per day requires monitoring for vitamin B12 deficiency by a health care provider. ADVERSE REACTIONS At recommended doses, there are usually no undesirable effects. Allergic sensitisation has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid. At high doses e.g. 15 mg day ; folic acid has rarely been associated with various gastrointestinal symptoms and CNS effects such as altered sleep pattern, difficulty concentrating, irritability, hyperactivity, excitement, mental depression, confusion, and impaired judgement. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION One pink a.m. ; tablet in the morning and one blue p.m. ; tablet in the evening at least 2-3 months prior to conception, continuing up to 10-12 weeks after last menstrual period, or throughout pregnancy, if, in the judgement of the attending physician, the benefits of continued high dose folic acid supplementation outweigh potential risks. Oral administration. OVERDOSAGE For management of suspected drug overdose, contact the Regional Poison Control Centre. ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Folic acid, also known as folate, pteroylglutamic acid or vitamin B9, is a water-soluble B complex vitamin. After absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, folic acid is converted in the liver to tetrahydrofolic acid, which is a cofactor in the biosynthesis of purines and thymidylates of nucleic acids. An exogenous source of folic acid is necessary for the synthesis of nucleoproteins and maintenance of normal erythropoiesis. There is strong evidence that prophylactic therapy with folic acid, prior to and during pregnancy, can reduce the risk of fetal neural tube defects NTDs ; . NTDs result from improper development and closure of the neural tube during the third and fourth week of gestation. Pregnancies affected by a NTD may result in a miscarriage or stillbirth, and children born with a NTD may have mild to severe disability or die in early childhood. NTDs include spina bifida, anencephaly and encephalocele. Although the use of a folic acid supplement during the periconceptional period reduces the number of NTDs, they cannot be completely avoided through folate supplementation because of their multifactorial origin. For women who had prior history of NTDs, the recurrence rate is 2-3%. Consuming 5 mg of folic acid daily has the potential of reducing the incidence of another NTD pregnancy by up to 72%, i.e., down to 1%. There is evidence that an increase of 0.4 mg day of folic acid would reduce the risk of neural tube defects for all women planning a pregnancy by about 36%, 1 mg per day would reduce the risk by 57% and the use of a 5 mg tablet daily would reduce the risk by about 85%. AVAILABILITY OF DOSAGE FORMS PregVit folic 5 is supplied in a 30-day blister pack containing 30 pink tablets a.m. ; and 30 blue tablets p.m. ; . STORAGE Store between 15C and 30C in a dry place. Keep out of the reach of children. Note: Contact with moisture may produce surface discolouration or erosion of the tablet and bisacodyl.

Anemia. An abnormally low red blood cell count, usually due to chronic kidney disease or cancer chemotherapy. Worldwide more than 500 million people suffer from anemia, which can cause debilitating fatigue and severely reduce quality of life. Genetically engineered medicines from Roche correct anemia by stimulating the production of red blood cells. As a result, they also prevent potential long-term complications, including decreased survival in cancer patients and cardiovascular disease and etidronate.

The results of the green revolution have proved to be a paradox: on the one hand, the green revolution offered technology as a substitute both for nature and as well as politics, by the creation of abundance and peace. On the other hand, the technology itself demanded more intensive natural resource use along with intensive external inputs and a restructuring of the way power was distributed in society. While treating nature and politics as dispensable elements in agricultural transformation, the green revolution created major changes in natural ecosystems and agrarian structures Shiva, 1992; Goldsmith, 1998 ; . Sir Albert Howard, who was associated with the Pusa Agriculture Research Centre, made an almost prophetic declaration, right at the beginning of the twentieth century about the emerging practices of modern farming. He said: "These mushroom ideas of agriculture are failing, mother earth deprived of her manurial rights is in revolt; the land is going on strike; the fertility of the soil is declining.Soil is no longer able to stand the strain. Soil fertility is rapidly diminishing particularly in the US, Canada, Africa, Australia, New Zealand. The loss of fertility all over the world is indicated by the growing menace of soil erosion. Diseases are on the increase. the diseases of crops and animals which feed on them" Vasu, 1983 ; . Though they may have sounded like an exaggeration at that time, his predictions have all come true in a magnified way Arya, 1995 ; . As history shows, former civilizations were able to overcome their economic and cultural declines when the ecosystems which made up their environment remained intact and free of interference. Avoiding detrimental changes in the material cycles and energy fluxes and preventing the loss of biological diversity in our natural environment are of utmost priority among the goals of sustainable development.

The second study assessed the capacity of DEPAKOTE to reduce the incidence of CPS when administered as the sole AED. The study compared the incidence of CPS among patients randomized to either a high or low dose treatment arm. Patients qualified for entry into the randomized comparison phase of this study only if 1 ; they continued to experience 2 or more CPS per 4 weeks during an 8 to week long period of monotherapy with adequate doses of an AED i.e., phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or primidone ; and 2 ; they made a successful transition over a two week.

Three evidence-based reviews published in the last 4 years on the lateral window technique are in agreement with respect to the most important clinical decisions that we make in sinus grafting. A biologic surgical approach is necessary that will further aid in the accomplishment of the all-important goal of formation of vital bone. This presentation will describe these evidence-based decisions, along with a biologic rationale for their clinical success. Possibilities for enhancement offered by newer graft materials and growth factor applications will be addressed. The relationship of sinus membrane perforations to successful therapy, a surgical technique that avoids perforations, and clinical techniques to repair large perforations should they occur will also be discussed. Stephen Wallace, DDS, is an associate professor in the Department of Implant Dentistry at New York University and maintains a private practice for periodontics, bone regeneration, and implant dentistry in Waterbury, Connecticut. He holds a specialist certificate in periodontics. He lectures nationally and internationally on implant dentistry and periodontics. Dr Wallace is the author of an evidence-based review of the sinus augmentation procedure published in the Annals of Periodontology as well over 25 journal articles and textbook chapters. He is co-editor of a textbook on sinus elevation surgery that was recently published in Italy and alendronate.
Stimulation for a short period in a patient who is not taking medication in order to compare motor signs in the stimulated and the nonstimulated condition.5 Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus interferes with antiparkinsonian medication, and a large decrease in the dose of such medications is mandatory to prevent motor and behavioral side effects. Therefore, a blinded comparison of neurostimulation with best medical treatment was not feasible. The control group was treated by experts in movement disorders in compliance with national guidelines for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease, 9 but further standardization of the best medical treatment was not performed. In conclusion, this six-month study demonstrated that subthalamic neurostimulation resulted.

Propranolol Inderal ; belongs to the beta-blocker class of drugs. Commonly prescribed for high blood pressure. Reduces the tremor by 50 to 60%. Primidone Mysoline ; , an antiepileptic medication, is a therapy for essential tremor. Levodopa L-dopa ; , the "gold standard" of Parkinson's disease therapy, is chemically similar to dopamine. The body converts levodopa to dopamine. Carbidopa belongs to a class of drugs called DC inhibitors. DC inhibitors delay the onset of action of a dose of levodopa by blocking the enzymes that convert levodopa to dopamine. Sinemet contains both levodopa and carbidopa. Tolcapone Tasmar ; and entacapone Comtan ; : These drugs prevent the break down of levodopa before it is converted to dopamine in the brain, thus extending the life of levodopa. Bromocriptine Parlodel ; , pergolide Permax ; , pramipexole Mirapex ; and Ropinirole Requip ; . These drugs are used to treat the motor-involved symptoms of Parkinson's disease by extending the action of dopamine in the brain. Benztropine, trihexyphenidyl and ethopropazine. Anticholinergic drugs inhibit nerve cells whose actions oppose dopamine. These drugs are used to treat tremor and rigidity associated with Parkinson's disease. Amantadine Symmetrel ; is used to treat dyskinesia jerky movements ; . Side effects of may include dizziness, depression, diarrhea, nausea and dry mouth. However, these are currently the only medications we have to fight the effects of essential tremor and Parkinson's disease and buy oxybutynin!

The full support assumption about the measures 1 plays an important role in the proof of Lemma 4. It implies that a positive fraction of the population has beliefs greater than m in the first period. The purpose of this subsection is to show that this assumption can be weakened. We begin with the following property of the individual experimentation problem when there is learning in society. Lemma 5. Suppose an individual is playing a deterministic decision rule that is optimal and that in a given period it is weakly optimal for him to choose a1 . If chooses the unknown arm in this period then, with positive probability, it will be strictly optimal for him to choose a1 in the following period. Proof: See Appendix E. A consequence of the above lemma is that if it is weakly optimal for an individual to choose a1 in one period, then, because of Lemma 1, it is strictly optimal for him to choose a1 after the most favorable outcome, i.e., the outcome that increases most one's belief. Hence, even if an individual's initial belief 1 is smaller than m , as long as he plays a1 in the first period and so a1 is weakly optimal ; , there is a positive probability that his belief is higher than m after a finite number periods. After all, facing the most favorable outcome for t periods in a row leads an individual's belief to be at least as high as t pt.

Moses is true and his Torah is true Talmud, Bava Batra 74a ; Be of the disciples of Aaron: one who loves peace, pursues peace, loves G-d's creatures and draws them close to Torah Ethics of the Fathers 1: 12 ; The story of the formative generation of Jewish nationhood portrays Moses as the epitomical leader of Israel. It is he who takes the Children of Israel out of Egypt. It is he who receives the Torah from G-d and teaches it to the people. It is to Moses that G-d addresses His instructions regarding the making of the Tabernacle which is to house the Divine Presence in the Israelite camp, and Moses is also described as the one who "made" it although the actual construction was done by others ; . It is Moses who feeds, nurtures and guides the people of Israel and bears the brunt of their complaints and rebelliousness ; as he leads them in their volatile 40-year journey from Sinai to the Promised Land. But a closer reading of the Torah's account reveals the leadership of Israel to have been a team effort: ever-present at Moses' side is his older brother, Aaron. At times Aaron's role is strongly pronounced, at times it is scarcely discernable, but he is always there. When Moses confronts Pharaoh, it is together with Aaron, who plays a major role in performing the miracles and bringing on the plagues that force the release of the Israelites. When G-d commands His first mitzvah to the Jewish people, it is addressed "to Moses and to Aaron" a phrase that often appears in the Torah amidst the many "And G-d spoke to Moses" introductions to its laws. When the people complain, it is "to Moses and to Aaron" that they address their grievances; when Korach challenged Moses' leadership, it was a rebellion also indeed, primarily ; against Aaron's place in the leadership. What is striking about the Moses Aaron dyad is that Aaron does not fit the familiar molds of the "right-hand-man" or "second-in-command." Nor is there a clear-cut division of tasks between the two brothers. While Moses is certainly the more dominant figure in the narrative, Aaron is always a full.
