Every year at our Seder we exclaim “let my people go” as we recount the story of our ancestors who were freed from slavery.
This year, as we gather with our family & friends for Seder we will shout “Let My People Go” as we wait, hope & pray that our brothers & sisters who are still being held in Gaza are released safely.
We will leave a seat empty for those who are unable to join us, the lives lost on Oct 7, the lives lost defending the state of Israel, and those still being held captive.
Wishing our friends and supporters a peaceful Pesach.
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱 Let My People Go 🇮🇱 Bring Them Home Now 🎗️

MDA lost 14 Ambulances due to the Hamas attack both by ground and air invasion on October 7th. Not only did these vehicles need replacing urgently, but a call was put out to friends' societies around the world to purchase Ambulances & First Responder Vehicles to join the fleet and enable MDA to respond to more emergency calls, faster.
We are incredibly grateful to the Gandel Foundation and @nicbrit3161 for their unwavering support of MDA and joining together with MDA Australia to purchase a Mobile Intensive Care Unit Ambulance (MICU).
Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) Ambulances are staffed by MDA’s most highly trained paramedics and carry special equipment and sophisticated technology for the treatment of cardiac and stroke patients, and victims of severe trauma.
Thank you to The Gandel Foundation for partnering with Magen David Adom in Israel to save more lives on the ground 🙏
