SAJR readers click their support for MDA

Jewish Report readers have so far collected around R80 000 for Israel’s emergency first-response service in the SAJR/MDA Click-Athon. And, over the past week, readers have contributed almost R7 000 for a new MDA ambulance which will carry the name of the first soldier to fall. Now, readers are clubbing together to buy a first-responder, three wheeled bike as well.

On top of that, the management of one Johannesburg’s kosher butcheries was so touched by reading the Jewish Report Online’s story about MDA’s need last week, that they immediately called MDA Chairman Mark Hyman and decided to raise funds for a three-wheel bike ambulance (pictured) by donating five per cent of their turnover between now and Rosh Hashanah.

With the continuation of hostilities this week, MDA really needs South African Jewry’s help. No matter how big or how small the donation; the MDA-SA and the Jewish Report Online have teamed up to make it hassle-free. One click and it’s done. Or, if you’re able to assist by contributing to the SA ambulance, it’s just one phone call.

The lines are secure and the need is dire. SA Jewry has done so much that we have been honoured to have our ambulance as the first.

If readers want to donate towards the South African ambulance, contact Beulah Hyman, MDA-SA executive secretary, at all hours (except on Shabbos) on the special SAJR/MDA hotline at 079 718-2471 donations for their special ambulance fund.

To date, MDA-SA’s special “Protective Edge Fund” has raised over R600 000 – with almost 100 Jewish Report readers contributing a fair amount of that. SAJR.Online is running a one-click-to-give-campaign, CLICK HEREassisting MDA to meet its added cost of up to R2 million a day during Protective Edge.

Go to the website for the Click-Athon or call Beulah about donating towards the ambulance – let’s not let the hard-working people at MDA-SA down!
