There are everyday heroes who walk among us.
You may know them from your local shul, perhaps you have even exchanged smiles or greetings with them.
Maybe they send their kids to the same schools as your very own!
These everyday individuals are also loving fathers and spouses, but they are built of a different caliber because they dedicate themselves to something far bigger than just themselves. I speak of our Hatzalah heroes of course- average people who do the above-average every day.
Theirs is a labor of love, a divine mission to protect and preserve life. Their role transcends beyond expectation, as they are always ready to rush to the aid of those in need, regardless of the time or place. In fact, our Hatzalah volunteers truly embody the concept of “Messengers of Life,” being unwaveringly committed to the safety, security, and continued health of our communities.
For the Messengers of Life, saving lives is not just a job- it’s a calling. Our heroes cannot operate single-handedly. That’s where we, as a community, come into the picture. Hatzalah relies on our support, encouragement, and financial assistance to sustain and continue their life-saving work. Therefore, we are launching this campaign to raise funds for these dedicated individuals, ensuring they have the resources necessary to continue their selfless mission.
Know this.
When a community such as ours unites, we become an unstoppable force.
Let us band together as a community, as true partners in life, to show our heroes just how grateful we really are.
Let us show them that their work is not just important, but it is vital to the well-being of our community.
Let us recognize their sacrifices.
And most importantly, let’s let them know that they are not alone in their mission.

It’s a given that a volunteer of a Chesed organization has the maturity, integrity and character to protect the privacy of those they are privileged to help. And that they live up to the public’s trust in the organization. Because when the person you helped meets your family member in the street or in the store, they DO know when their privacy was violated. And from the reaction of the family member they know that their moment of need was made into a ‘story’, exaggerated, or taken out of context. That you have described them in a way that you would be ashamed… Read more »
