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.

line that delights the cast: Ayelet 
Zurer (Elisheva), Neta Riskin (Giti) 
and Dov Glickman (Shulem).
