This workshop is specifically tailored for students entering their Bar & Bat Mitzvah year.
We run a 1 hour workshop introducing students to the vital lifesaving work of Magen David Adom.
We talk about the work MDA does in Melbourne, Israel and around the world. We share videos illustrating the amazing work carried out by MDA and its volunteers.
A highlight is the fun and engaging quiz which students work together and compete for prizes. We cover volunteering opportunities and students are presented with a beautiful certificate. Students gain a great understanding of Magen David Adom as well as learning the importance of Tzedakah, Pikuach Nefesh & Tikkun Olam.
