The Haas Family Rosh Hashana Lifesaving Campaign 5785

Message to sponsors

As you know, United Hatzalah holds a special place in our hearts. Every day, their incredible volunteer medics drop everything—whether it’s a day at work or a peaceful night’s sleep—to answer approximately 2,000 medical emergencies across Israel - with a less than 3 minute average response time! They are the heartbeat of emergency care, always ready to rush out and save lives at a moment's notice.

This Rosh Hashana, as we reflect on the past year and look toward the future, we are launching our Rosh Hashana Lifesaving Campaign once again. Our goal this year is to raise $36,000 to fund an Ambucycle, a critical tool that helps United Hatzalah volunteers reach emergencies swiftly and effectively. Unlike ambulances or cars, Ambucycles are never held up by traffic jams or narrow streets. Equipped with a specialized case to carry essential medical gear, they ensure the fastest response when seconds count the most.

In keeping with the spirit of this season of reflection and renewal, we are proud to dedicate this Ambucycle in memory of Paul’s dad, Ted. This is our way of honoring his legacy—through saving lives and giving the gift of time to those who need it most.
