Please consider giving tzedaka to support a new ambulance for Magen David Adom 

We have been told that there is damage to dozens of ambulances caused from Oct. 7th and afterward due to direct intentional targeting and destroying of ambulances, something that had not happened in previous wars. My Los Angeles shul community is fundraising on behalf of the American Friends of Magen David Adom (AFMDA). Donations are tax deductible. Elana Michael is the Southern California regional director of AFMDA we are working with. Each ambulance costs $110,000. We are now 75% of the way to an ambulance and would appreciate donations of any amount.

Individual donors can send (or direct) funds to
