SPOTLIGHT
A diverse mix of religious
and lay leaders from 10
large Conservative, Reform
and Modern Orthodox
American Jewish communi-
ties, including Rabbi Harold
Loss from Temple Israel
in West Bloomfield, are
visiting Israel on a five-day
American Friends of MDA
Rabbinic Solidarity Mission.
The mission’s packed
itinerary brings the par-
ticipants face to face with
Israel’s complexities and
challenges six months on
from the outbreak of war,
in a mix of touring and
personal encounters. This
is the inaugural initiative
of the AFMDA Rabbinic
Advisory Council, a body
which serves as a non-polit-
ical, non-partisan resource
to positively engage U.S.
Jewish communities about
Israel in general and
AFMDA in particular.
Rabbi Michael Siegel of
the Anshe Emet Synagogue
in Chicago, IL, who was
instrumental in organizing
the mission, gave voice to
many fellow participants
when he referred to the
delegation as the “culmina-
tion of the desire of rabbis
across the United States
to engage more fully with
Magen David Adom and
their important work.”
While acknowledging that
MDA medicycles may be
familiar to many American
Jews, Siegel maintains that
visiting the country and
meeting with MDA para-
medics in MDA facilities
offers another meaningful
dimension.
The five-day mission,
designed to introduce par-
ticipants to MDA opera-
tions in war and in routine,
to bear witness to the atroc-
ities of Oct. 7 and to learn
first-hand about the chal-
lenges facing Israel today,
includes visits to MDA’s
Marcus National Blood
Services Center in Ramla,
the MDA helicopter team
at Sde Teman, and MDA’s
William H. Bloomberg
Center in Jerusalem.
In addition to meeting
with hostage and bereaved
families and wounded sol-
diers, the participants will
receive briefings from dig-
nitaries and political
figures.
