Now known as American Friends of Magen David Adom with its National Headquarters
in New York City, the organization is celebrating its 67th year of supporting the vital work of
MDA in Israel.
In 1940, a dedicated and concerned group of Americans realized the importance of Magen
David Adom in Palestine, which was officially chartered and recognized as an emergency
lifesaving service as a result of the murderous riots of 1929, when Jewish farming and urban settlements were attacked by the Arab population. Under the auspices of the B’nai Zion organization, and, particularly, the leadership of Herman Z. Quittman and Dr. Harris Levine, “American Red Magen David for Israel (ARMDI)” was incorporated in the State of New York
to give medical assistance to the people of Israel (then Palestine).
The organization became affiliated with Magen David Adom and worked to upgrade MDA’s emergency medical and blood services. The assistance provided to MDA by ARMDI in
those first years was crucial in the latter years of the British Mandate of Palestine and in
the struggle with the Arabs. Go to website

Do Jews believe in the hereafter such as life after death?
The afterlife is a fundamental of Jewish belief.
The creation of man testifies to the eternal life of the soul. The Torah says, "And the
Almighty formed the man of dust from the ground, and He blew into his nostrils the SOUL
of life" (Genesis 2:7). On this verse, the Zohar states that "one who blows, blows from
within himself," indicating that the soul is actually part of God's essence. Since God's
essence is completely spiritual and non-physical, it is impossible that the soul should die.
(The commentator Chizkuni says this why the verse calls it "soul of LIFE.")....Read more

In a former Soviet republic, Jewish cemeteries get little respect
Workers rebuilding a sports stadium on the site of an 18th century Jewish cemetery in Belarus say they have no choice
but to consign the bones to city dumps.
"It's impossible to pack an entire cemetery into sacks," said worker Mikhail Gubets, adding that he stopped counting the
skulls when the number went over 100. Full story
Rabbi clears out prayer notes from Western Wall
Poking into crevices between the ancient stones of the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, a senior rabbi and his
helpers on Tuesday removed thousands of handwritten notes placed there by visitors who believe their requests will find a
shortcut to God by being deposited at Judaism's holiest site. The operation is carried out twice each year: before the
Passover festival which begins this weekend and at the Jewish New Year in the fall.
"Millions of people place notes here at the Western Wall with their requests, we take them out in order that more people
can place these notes," said the site's rabbi, Shmuel Rabinowitz. "So that these notes are not defiled and don't fall out,
we collect then in a seemly and respectful way and bury them on the Mount of Olives," just across a valley from the Old City.
