A passover message to you from AFMDA

DEBKAfile SPONSORED MESSAGE

Each Passover, we celebrate the Jewish people's deliverance from slavery, and commemorate the 40-year-long journey that marked our transition from slaves to a free people living in the Promised Land. It's a story that's left an indelible mark on the Jewish people. Today, we stand as one of the most philanthropic people on Earth, commanded to seek justice because we remember what it's like to be oppressed, enslaved, and even put to death because of our beliefs. And it's why we, as a people, value life above all else — emblazoned in the chai many of us wear around our necks, recounted in the l'chaim we say before toasts, and evidenced by the impact the Jewish community has made at medical institutions throughout the cities and towns we live in. Today, you can put that love of life into action by literally saving lives in Israel through a gift to support Magen David Adom, Israel's emergency medical-response agency, which provides disaster, ambulance, and blood services to more than half a million Israelis each year. Thanks to Magen David Adom, there are Israelis alive today who nearly had a very different fate A senior who suffered a heart attack who was defibrillated and rushed to the hospital for treatment and eventual recovery, A victim of a rocket attack who lived to tell the tale because MDA paramedics had the training and expertise to stanch the bleeding, A baby born en route to the hospital with the umbilical cord around his neck who was quickly resuscitated because an EMT knew just what to do, and A woman hit by a car while crossing the street who lived because there was sufficient blood for the transfusions she required during surgery.   All of these stories were made possible by people who made a difference by supporting Magen David Adom. And can you think of a charitable gift that makes a bigger impact than one that saves a life? If you've made a gift this year to MDA, thank you for your support. If you're new to learning about this life-saving organization, join us on what we truly believe is a sacred mission, an organization dedicated to preserving life, the thing we Jews value most — in Israel, the land we hold most dear. As we sit around the seder table, know that there are similar seders taking place in Israel, with seats filled with friends and relatives, seats that might have otherwise been empty if not for the work of MDA. That's the impact you can have. May your Passover be filled with joy and with the love and company of your family, too. Pesach sameach, happy Passover.
