PJECC + United Hatzalah

Message to sponsors

This past month we have come together as a community in so many important ways, raising funds and donations for those affected by the October 7th attacks in Israel. In this spirit of giving, we’re coming together as a community once again to support an important organization whose work saves lives in Israel every day. United Hatzalah of Israel is the largest independent, non-profit, fully volunteer emergency medical service (EMS) organization that provides the fastest emergency medical service throughout Israel, and they do it completely free of charge. Their goal is to provide immediate lifesaving medical intervention during the critical window between the onset of an emergency and the arrival of traditional ambulance assistance. Chabbad of Pacific Palisades and the PJECC communities (supported by the PJECC Room Parents) are proud to partner with United Hatzalah to raise $46,000 to purchase a “Mini-Lance,” an electrical smart-car that allows two responders to travel together inside metropolitan areas providing fast EMS response. The Mini-Lance will contain a full complement of medical equipment appropriate for the level of the responder driving it. EMTs will carry a basic life support (BLS) pack, while volunteer paramedics and doctors will carry advanced life support (ALS) packs in the trunk. Please help us support this critical, lifesaving, community-based work, and reach our goal by Giving Tuesday (Nov 28)!
