Joint project to place defibrillators in Jerusalem synagogues before Jewish New Year – Cleveland Jewish News
Posted By admin on August 23, 2021
Magen David Adom has been prioritizing the task of placing defibrillators in public spaces throughout Israel this year. Already, thousands have been installed around the country, including hundreds to be added in Jerusalem synagogues before Rosh Hashanah.
Defibrillators can be operated without medical training and are intended to save lives in the event of a heart attack until emergency crews arrive.
The operation comes as the result of a joint initiative by MDA director-general Eli Bin and Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion. The Jerusalem Defibrillator Project was launched this month at the Jerusalem Great Synagogue, the citys largest and most central synagogue, as a result of support from American and international donors.
The projectthe first of its scale in the countrywas made possible with contributions from the International Fellowship for Christians and Jews and New Jerseys Cross River Bank. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Lion; Bin; and funders Yael Eckstein, president and chief executive officer of the Fellowship; and Gilles Gade, founder, president and chief executive officer of the bank.
One moment during the ceremony that moved the audience was when a 38-year-old Jerusalem resident, father of five, shared his story of resuscitation, during which he received 12 electric shocks. As soon as he stepped off the stage, Eckstein announced the Fellowships donation of another 230 devices to additional synagogues in Jerusalem.
A defibrillator is often the difference between life and death, she said. We are grateful to our more than 600,000 donors around the world who are making it possible to save and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis and Jews in the Diaspora.
