On Tuesday night, September 24, Sharon Paz, YoYo Prebus, Harrison Prichard, and Sam and Max Workman presented a donation from the Beit Miriam families in the amount of $2500 to Eli Beer, founder and CEO of United Hatzalah Israel. Beit Miriam adopted United Hatzalah Israel as its Tzedakah project for 2023-2024.
United Hatzalah volunteers respond to emergency calls within 90 seconds in metropolitan areas in Israel and within 3 minutes in rural areas of the country. Hatzalah volunteers are religious, secular, Druze, Arab, Jews, and Christians, men and women. United Hatzalah services are totally paid for by donations.
Beit Miriam students have been bringing Tzedakah for United Hatzalah since August 2023. After October 7th, our commitment to support the amazing volunteers of United Hatzalah grew in strength. Hatzalah volunteers from all over the country rushed to the Gaza border kibbutzim before they fully realized what was happening. Their courage and dedication in the face of the Hamas atrocities against Israeli citizens on that day will never be forgotten.
A special thanks to Bernie and Maria Pargh for bringing Eli Beer to Nashville and for giving us the opportunity to present our donation in person. In addition to donating 4 ambulances to United Hatzalah themselves, Bernie and Maria and their family recognized the efforts of our Beit Miriam families by donating and dedicating an Ambucycle in our honor!
Todah Rabah, Bernie and Maria!
