Eli Beer is the Founder of United Hatzalah, the largest independent, non-profit, fully volunteer emergency medical services organization in Israel that provides fast and free emergency medical first response throughout Israel - and President of U.S. based organization Friends of United Hatzalah. Eli was born in Israel, where he witnessed his first

terror attack at the age of seven. This traumatic experience, coupled with his desire to help save people, encouraged him to become a volunteer medic. He has been involved in emergency medical first response in Israel since 1988. Eli has educated health organizations worldwide on the importance of receiving medical care within the first few minutes of an incident through a network of volunteers; has expertise in creating cohesive and integrated responses to mass casualty incidents as well as terrorist attacks; and is a pioneer in the field of GPS-based technology for medical response; recipient of the 2011 Presidential Award for Volunteerism in Israel.

to liFe, to liFe... l’chaim! at B’nai torah, we share that sentiment and gratitude for life. Congregant keith sirlin showed us his appreciation and gratitude by presenting rabbi rikki arad with a beautiful bottle of Crown royal that will be used during shabbat kiddush. and so, new “tradition” was born... b’nai torah’s l’chaim campaign.

If you have a bottle of un-opened liquor at home and would like to donate it for our congregational shabbat kiddush, we would love to share it. If you don’t have a bottle to donate, you can always make a donation to the melvin klein ritual Wine and liquor Fund. thank you Keith!
