Please consider making a donation to United Hatzalah to purchase an AMBUCYCLE in memory of Zvi Ejnes, may his memory be a blessing. We chose this life saving non-profit organization because we feel the many connections between United Hatzalah’s mission and our beloved, kind-hearted Papa. Papa had a rough start in life, born in 1934 in a Polish schtetl. He dealt with anti-semitism and countless every-day hardships while his family became refugees in war-torn Europe. Papa and his family escaped the Nazis by eking out a meager existence in bitter Siberia. After the war, upon finding their hometown decimated and with no surviving Jews, they wandered through the ashes of post-war Europe, wound up in a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany then moved to France where they found some relatives. Finally, in 1949 the family was able to make Aliyah to Israel. At that time, Israel was a brand new country and for Papa it was also a brand new beginning. Coming of age as a pioneer, a “Chalutz”, Papa flourished. He lived on a kibbutz, learned Hebrew and developed skills as a machinist. He served in the Israel Defense Forces, fought in the 1956 Sinai War and did his part, heroically, for the defense of the Jewish nation. He worked as a bus driver for Egged, the Israeli national bus service, sailed around the world with the Israeli Merchant Marines and cruised the streets of Yafo and Tel-Aviv on his very cool motorcycle. Papa had a heart of gold and was loved by everyone who met him. He was hard-working, capable, resourceful and was always first to lend a hand. His gentle aura, twinkling blue eyes and his ever present warm smile simply made everything better. Papa was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. Zvi was the epitome of the “strong-but-silent” type who spoke volumes with his actions. United Hatzalah saves lives in Israel, it is a fully volunteer Emergency Medical Service organization that provides the fastest and free emergency care to those in need regardless of race or religion. When emergencies occur, rapid medical treatment increases chances of survival exponentially. Using specially equipped motorcycle ambulances, called AMBUCYCLES, United Hatzalah’s network of more than 6,200 volunteer medics help save thousands of lives each year. The United Hatzalah AMBUCYCLE program would have resonated deeply with Zvi because of his love of Israel, his eagerness to help others and his fondness for motorcycles. It gives us much joy and comfort to know that an AMBUCYCLE adorned with the name ZVI EJNES will be zooming around the streets of Tel Aviv performing acts of heroism and spreading goodness. Please consider donating to this very worthy charity in memory of our sweet papa, Zvi Ejnes. Thank you, Bella, Ted, Michele and Mark
