Twenty-three-year-old Moshe Stern, a 3 year volunteer at the Kiryat Ono station, received his MDA Medi- cycle on the very same day he was called to resuscitate the 40-year- old patient. He recalls: "I was on my way from Tel Aviv to my home when I received a call via the App about a case of shortness of breath.

I proceeded to administer CPR and immediately called for an am- bulance.” The Intensive Care Ambulance arrived within minutes manned by 22 year old Shay Alpha also a 3 year first responder and instructor who recalled: "We continued with resuscitation and a few minutes later we saw that the man regained consciousness and began breath- ing by himself.

While preparing to evacuate him to the hospital, we contacted the emergency room and the intensive care unit immediately, and when we reached the emergency room the cardiologist was already wait- ing for us pleasantly surprised see- ing that the patient, who had since returned to full consciousness, was conversing with the medical staff. Shay Alpha continues: “After the call, I drove to the hospital to see how he was doing and arrived just as he was on his way to the catheterization lab. It was truly amazing to see him fully awake and communicative. The next day his wife called and said that he woke up after the surgery, was feel- ing great and thanked us for the quick response and subsequent life-saving treatment. Knowing that you have successfully resuscitated a patient and was able to see him literally come back to life is such a serene feeling.

ISRAËL NE PEUT SURVIVRE SANS MAGEN DAVID ADOM.MAGEN DAVID ADOM NE PEUT SURVIVRE SANS VOUS.
What made this a very specialand moving tribute was thatboth her husband and herbrother had supported andvisited Israel. It was even moremeaningful because she wasable to share the dedicationwith her niece, MelanieTakefman, who lives in Israel,and her friends from CAARI –
Canadian and American ActiveRetirees in Israel – of whichshe is a member.
Marilyn’s interest andappreciation of Magen DavidAdom and the important life-saving services it providesdeveloped initially through hersynagogue and later as aparticipant in a Canadian
Magen David Adom Mission to Poland and Israel.Subsequent visits to Israelhave strengthened her love ofthe country.
Marilyn is grateful to the MDAstaff who made all thenecessary arrangement for thededication. Her hope is thather gift will encourage othersto donate so that Magen DavidAdom can continue to provideemergency life-saving servicesto the people of Israel.
Yasher koach, Marilyn, on thismoving and fitting tribute.
A Fitting Tribute
ISRAEL
On a sunny day in Februaryin Tel Aviv, MarilynTakefman graciously hostedthe dedication of anemergency medical scooterdonated to the people ofIsrael in memory of herbeloved husband, StanleyBackman, and her dearbrother, Steven Takefman.
International Unit?If you haven’t heard about this program,it began in 2013 by inviting doctors tocome and train with Magen David Adomin Israel. Today, five years later, morethan 200 physicians worldwide havebeen trained.
Every year, Canadian Magen David Adomsends a group of doctors in all specialties,from coast to coast, to Israel to train inMass Casualty Incidents (MCI). Thecourse is one week long.
The Unit’s objectives?1. Train and expose doctors to MDA’s ex-
pertise, experience and equipment,mostly in the Mass Casualty Incident(MCI) field with the hope that if, oneday something major would happen inIsrael, the doctors would feel comfort-able travelling to Israel to assist MDA.
2. Prepare the doctors to help in thecase of a disaster in their communitiesso that they could manage MCIs priorto the arrival of the local EMS andother emergency forces if somethingwere to happen in Canada.
3. Help us, Canadian Magen David Adomfor Israel (CMDAI) here in Canada.Help with fundraising initiatives andhelp to increase awareness for MagenDavid Adom’s lifesaving work.
“MCI Preparedness & Community Leadership Course”In January, the Advanced Mission tookplace. All 32 doctors who took part in theprogram had already taken the basiccourse and returned to receive higherlevel training. They sharpened their skillsin MCI, Triage, Medical Protocols, Man-agement and Pre-Hospital Trauma LifeSupport (PHTLS). They even worked onMDA’s Mobile Intensive Care Units(MICUs) around the country.
The highlight of the trip was a Mass Ca-sualty Incident surprise drill in Ashdod.The doctors were told that they were
going to a synagogue to meet Ashdod’shead rabbi. Unknown to them, 25 fakecasualties were waiting to be found in thebasement beneath the synagogue. The“rabbi” – an MDA volunteer – came intothe room and, one minute after he beganhis speech, alarms began sounding in thesynagogue. “A missile has hit the syna-gogue…DRILL, DRILL, DRILL, everyonedown to the basement.”
As smoke filled the room, doctors tookcommand of the scene, calling for back-up, and began treating the casualties untilMDA teams arrived. Real EmergencyMedi-Cycle and Ambulances were involved in the drill. The drill was exe-cuted beautifully, demonstrating the doc-tors’ knowledge, training, devotion andhard work.

TORONTOIn the spirit of Tikkun Olam,Talya Samuel, who recentlycelebrated her Bat Mitzvah,chose to donate her gifts toCanadian Magen DavidAdom. This generous act oftzedakah on Talya’s partbecame even moremeaningful when her family’svisit to Israel included a tourof the main MDA station in Tel Aviv.
Magen David Adom’s mission is well known to Talya and her family. Her father anduncle are doctors and her cousin participated in the First Physicians’ Mission toIsrael and, again, in the Advanced Mission which took place in January, 2018.
The visit to the MDA station provided Talya and her family with the opportunity tosee first-hand the scope of the operations and the life-saving equipment which ismade possible thanks to the generous donations of people like Talya.
Talya, you are an inspiration to young people!

Wolf Bronet – Leader of the PackThe best way todescribe Wolf Bronetis that he is a man ofgreat drive, inspirationand determination – to keep on running, to keep on giving,and to keep on saving lives. Wolf hasdevoted his life to humanitarian causes.He loves people, he loves helpingpeople. A Holocaust survivor, Wolfunderstands the importance of com-munity, the importance of “tzedakah”.
With the “Wolf Pack” of which he is‘leader’, Wolf has been an activesupporter of many organizations.Whether he was carrying the Olympicflame up Camilien Houde Parkway tolaunch Montreal’s 1976 Olympics, raisingfunds for cancer research with the DéfiCanderel, holding the Torch of Unity in a
St. Patrick’s Dayparade, oractivelysupportingMagen DavidAdom, Wolf’sdedication tocauses knowsno bounds.
In conjunction with the YM-YWHA “WolfPack”, 12 ambulances have beendonated to Magen David Adom, Israel’snational rescue and blood servicesorganization. But Wolf wants more. He has always had a dream – to donateambulance 13, the Bar Mitzvahambulance, to the people of Israel.
Help make Wolf’s dream a reality. “Bepart of it, be proud of it”! As Wolf hassaid many times, “We cannot do itwithout you”.
And that is why we call him “leader of the pack”!
In celebration of Wolf’s 94th Birthday, Canadian Magen David Adom will honour Wolf at aspecial evening at the Segal Centre on Tuesday, May 22nd, 2018. Proceeds will enable
the donation of the Bar Mitzvah Ambulance, number 13 to the people of Israel.
For further information, please contact Susan Puritz or Sandar Amar at 514-731-4400
Fania Wedro was about tocelebrate her special birthday.Not sure about the best way toacknowledge Fania on herspecial day, but knowing that sheand her late husband, Leo z’l,have been loyal and generoussupporters of Canadian MagenDavid Adom for many years, her friends chose to establishthe CMDA “Leo z’l and FaniaWedro Fund”.
As a result, two emergency medical scooters have beendonated to the people of Israel and are now stationed inYarkon. They join the fleet of scooters which includes the onedonated by Fania and her late husband, Leo z’l, in 2016 in honorof their son, Dr. Ben Wedro, which is stationed in Rishon Letzion.
Fania, may you enjoy continued good health and many morehappy times shared with family and friends.
