SF Fundraiser to Save Lives & Protect Israel’s Responders
Message to sponsors
Our community may be dispersed, but we have an extraordinary ability to come together when it truly matters.
Join our San Francisco Jewish community to support medical first responders in Israel who are working 24/7 to save lives.
We are raising funds for United Hatzalah and ask that everyone donate a suggested amount of $108, a multiplier of חי (Chai, or life). All funds raised for United Hatzalah will be used to donate equipment to their 7,000 volunteers, including protective vests, helmets, defibrillators, oxygen tanks, and medical gear. You can learn more about United Hatzalah in the about tab above.
We hope you’ll join us for an evening of Israeli cuisine and solidarity on Monday, October 23rd, and look forward to the positive impact we can create together. Reach out to our hosts if you have any questions:
