Jews in the D
More than 450 people recently
attended United Hatzalah of
Israel’
s event featuring cast
members of the Netflix hit
Shtisel. Moderators Dr. Joel
Kahn and Mimi Markofsky
led the audience through an
insightful and fun dialogue
with Dov Glikman (Shulem),
Neta Riskin (Giti), Ayelet Zurer
(Elisheva) and writer/producer
Ori Elon.
Cari Margulis Immerman,
United Hatzalah of Israel
Midwest director, showed a
powerful video produced by
Muslim Israeli blogger NAS
Daily. NAS has millions of
followers on social media
platforms, and he wanted
the world to see how United
Hatzalah’
s 6,000 volunteer
EMTs — Jews, Christians,
Muslims, men and women —
work together to reach those in
need, “uber-style” at no charge.
To illustrate how this fast
response saves more lives,
Kahn shared how the ambu-
cycle sponsored in memory of
his father enabled a medic to
restore life to a young toddler
who had just minutes earlier
swallowed deadly chemicals.
