Israel Magen David Adom Group Visits

Are you looking for something new and meaningful to do in Israel with your family this Passover? this summer? in general?

The American Friends of Magen David Adom is making appointments for group visits to the Magen David Adom EMS Station and dispatch center in Jerusalem during your Pesach holiday in Israel. These visits are suitable for families with children in first grade and up.

Visitors will see MDA's unique, state of the art dispatch center and technology that navigates the ambulances in the event of an emergency, the Jerusalem branch of the MDA National Blood Services Center, explore the fleet of MDA ambulances, many donated by people and organizations in your own community, and meet and interact with MDA's staff and volunteers for a first hand perspective on the challenges of saving lives in Israel. Presently undergoing major renovation and construction, visiting the Bloomberg MDA Jerusalem station will be especially meaningful for New Yorkers as the lead gift in this construction project was made by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in memory of his father.

Participation is by advance reservation only, on a first come, first served basis. Tours are being scheduled for Wednesday, March 31 and Friday April 2 (in the morning).  Please feel free to pass this along to those who will be in Israel and possibly find this of interest.

Please e-mail  IsraelOffice@afmda.org for further details.
