Let us pray for peace in our beloved Israel - Am Y'Israel Chai
ROSH HASHANAH / FALL 2012/5773 • NATIONAL EDITION
Holiday greetings from
Joseph Amzallag, National President
While Rosh Hashanah commemorates the
creation of the world, it is also a time of
introspection when we think about our priorities
in life, when we ask questions about our actions
during the previous year, when we think about
what we hope to achieve.
As my term as National President comes to an end, I am
proud to report that our chapters across Canada continue
to rise ever higher to the goals they have set for themselves
– to raise the essential funds so that all Israelis will have the
best medical equipment.
Canadian Magen David Adom’s hope is to achieve its goal of
continuing to provide Magen David Adom Israel with vital
lifesaving medical equipment and supplies but this can only
be accomplished with your help. In today’s challenging
times, your support is needed more than ever. Israel cannot
survive without MDA and MDA cannot survive without you.
On behalf of the National Board of Directors, may you and
your families be inscribed and sealed for a good year.
Leshanah tovah tikateivou veteichateimou.
Joseph Amzallag, National President
Message de Joseph Amzallag,
Président National
Alors que Roch Hachana commémore la création
du monde, cette fête nous invite également à
l’introspection, alors que nous pensons à nos
priorités dans la vie, quand nous nous posons des
questions concernant nos actions tout au long
l’année qui vient de s’écouler, quand nous songeons à ce que
espérons réaliser.
Alors que mon mandat de président touche à sa fin, je suis
fier d’annoncer que nos sections à travers le Canada
continuent de progresser et même de dépasser les objectifs
qu’elles s’étaient fixées, c’est à dire de collecter des fonds
suffisants afin que les Israéliens bénéficient des meilleurs
équipements médicaux.
Magen David Adom Canada espère atteindre son objectif en
continuant à fournir à Magen David Adom Israël les
équipements et les fournitures médicales essentielles pour
sauver des vies. Mais ceci ne peut se réaliser sans votre
participation.
Dans cette période de grands défis, votre soutien est plus que
jamais nécessaire. Israël ne peut survivre sans MDA et MDA
ne peut survivre sans vous.
Au nom du Conseil national des directeurs, je vous souhaite
ainsi qu’à vos familles que vos noms soient inscrits et scellés
dans le Livre de Vie pour une bonne année.
Chana Tova Oumtouka

Paying a visit to Demers Ambulances are (L to R:) Joseph Amzallag, CMDA National President; Alain Brunelle,
President, Demers Ambulances; Eli Bin, MDA Director General; Alon Fridman, MDA Director of Logistics; Benoit
Lafortune, Vice President, Demers Ambulances; Amnon Halper, Universal Motors International; and Arnold
Rosner, CMDA National Executive Director.
MDA Israel’s top echelon visit Montreal
I
n the beginning of July, the
National Office of Canadian
Magen David Adom (CMDA)
hosted Eli Bin, MDA Israel’s
Director General, Alon Fridman, IMDA’s Director of Logistics, and Amnon Halper,
Universal Motors International (UMI).
The short but intense visit included a tour and meeting at
Demers Ambulances in Beloeil, Quebec. Demers is one
of the two ambulance manufacturers for Magen David
Adom in Israel. Demers is the
manufacturer for all ambulances purchased by CMDA,
United Kingdom IMDA, Australia IMDA and France
IMDA.
The group also attended a
CMDA National Board meeting and visited the head offices of Urgences Santé, Que-
bec’s emergency 24/7 ambulance service where they met
with Nicola D’Ulysse, President and Director General,
and David Sasson, Communications Director. Joining them
was André Champage, a consultant with Demers. Eli Bin
and Alon Fridman were able
to witness first hand how Urgences Santé responds when
they joined Mr. Sasson on an
emergency call.
Accompanying Eli Bin and
Alon Fridman during their
stay were CMDA’s National
President, Joseph Amzallag,
and National Executive Director, Arnold Rosner, who,
in the brief spare time they
had, were able to squeeze in a
tour of Old Montreal.
Although the visitors were
only here for a few days, it
provided the much-needed
opportunity for them to learn
more about CMDA’s functions
and an insight into how other
emergency services operate.
Canadian Magen David Adom is now

the severity of the injuries and
assess the timeframe for returning the injured to Israel.
Most of the wounded were suffering from orthopedic injuries and
shrapnel wounds. All had received
medical treatment and surgery
where necessary and were listed
in stable condition.
Once it was determined that the
wounded could be flown back to
Israel, volunteers from the Bulgarian Red Cross helped coordinate the drive to the airport. As a
token of appreciation for the cooperation and help given, the director of the Burgas hospital, was
presented with a small MDA flag.
Immediately upon landing in
Israel, the wounded were transferred to ambulances and taken to
medical centers closest to their
residences.
MDA Director General Eli Bin
expressed his gratitude to the doctors and emergency staff in Bulgaria. By virtue of MDA’s
membership in the International
Red Cross, MDA was able to
quickly and efficiently respond to
the attack and coordinate the
treatment of the Israeli tourists.
Condolences were extended to the
families of those who were killed
in the attack.
3-Wheeled
Lifesaver
When you are trying to save a life, minutes
count. Thanks to their ability to maneuver
through heavy traffic and narrow streets,
Canadian Magen David Adom’s three-wheeled
scooters are very often first on the scene.
EACH SCOOTER IS:
• clearly identified as an
emergency vehicle and is
equipped with a siren and
a revolving red light;
• driven by a qualified
paramedic;
• an adapted ambulance
with high-tech equipment
including an Automated
External Defibrillator and
a portable oxygen tank.
Of the 175 scooters in the
MDA fleet, 22 have been
purchased by Canadian
Magen David Adom donors.
The cost for each fullyequipped scooter is
$25,000 and we are
now raising funds to
purchase seven more in
the coming year.
Your donation will help support Magen David
Adom’s life-saving activities.

Major fundraising
event being planned
The dedicated members of the Winnipeg Chapter of CMDA
believe that “whoever saves a life has saved an entire
world.” They are hard at work planning what promises to be
a major fundraising event that will serve as the launch of
the Winnipeg Chapter Ambulance Drive.
“We are very excited about this,” said Rebeca Kuropatwa,
the contact person for the Winnipeg Chapter. “We are
putting the necessary sponsorships into place and hope to
be able to make a public announcement very soon.”
In addition to the major event being worked on, other
events are also being planned.

Daniel Amzallag is interviewed by an Akiva Academy student.
Taking advantage of a trip to
Vancouver, Daniel Amzallag,
CMDA’s National Youth Representative, was able to attend
a number of activities in Calgary. Organized by William
Katz, who had been a participant in the MDA Overseas Volunteer Program and was now
living in Calgary, Daniel visited
the Calgary Jewish Academy
(CJA) where he addressed
grades 6 through 12 students.
ited Akiva Academy and was
interviewed by a student for
the Jewish community’s local
radio program. A further event
with Hillel students at the University of Calgary allowed
Daniel the opportunity to talk
about the MDA Overseas Volunteer Yochai Porat Program.
Among the values taught to
students at Calgary’s Jewish
Academy are the strengthening
of Jewish identity, “tzedakah” /
generosity and “gemilut hassadim” / helping others.
In keeping with these values,
Student Council Advisor, Alex
Kouperman, explained that after listening to Daniel’s story
and receiving the green light
from the administration, the
students chose to raise funds
for Canadian Magen David
Adom. “We sold treats and we
did a Pie Day in which students
purchased cream pies and
threw them at the Student
Council”. While messy, it was
obviously a great success as
reflected by the very generous
donation of close to $800.00
received by Canadian Magen
David Adom. Daniel then vis-
CJA Student council members were
a favourite target on Pie Day.
The highlight of the events in
Calgary was culminated at an
evening attended by more than
100 people in which Daniel related his personal story – how
he decided to volunteer for
MDA after having suffered an
injury as a result of a terrorist
attack in Kfar Saba. The audience was so moved that they
immediately began to raise
funds for CMDA – a fitting
tribute to Daniel and to Magen
David Adom.

The June luncheon included a
presentation by Daniel on “Mass
Casualty Incidents in Israel” and
was accompanied by several
films. Daniel’s powerful presentation was graciously received
by the Christian Friends who are
committed and loyal supporters
of Israel. The luncheon was a
great success and created important connections with key
leaders in media and with organizations such as Bridges for
Peace, International Christian
Embassy, and Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship.
Special thanks to Brenda Grubner who spearheaded this event,
to Thomas Buchenauer for hosting the second successful Christian Friends luncheon and to
Daniel for his time and efforts in
helping to make these events so
successful.
Vancouver Talmud Torah’s “Mitzvah of valuing philanthropy” program

United States that teacher,
Sari Weintraub had heard about,
the “Mitzvah of Valuing Philanthropy Program” (MVP) encourages
12 and 13 year old students to
learn about Tikkun Olam and to realize that becoming Jewish adults
comes with responsibilities. Students experience this by finding out
which agencies need help and then
granting money through acts of
Tzedakah and Chesed. They learn
invaluable lessons and what the
saying “Whoever has saved a
life…has saved an entire world” re-
ally means. Not a day goes by in Israel when Magen David Adom is
not called upon to help save a life
and bring a new life into the world.
Grade 7 students, Joshua Bugis and
Lis Grinfeld nominated Canadian
Magen David Adom (CMDA). They
then had to convince their classmates to donate to their chosen
charity. Of the more than 20 charities selected by the students,
CMDA tied as the cause that received the most support. This initiative has resulted in a donation of
$800.00 for the purchase of an
Emergency Oxygen Tank Kit.

Avi is a grade 4 student at Associated Hebrew Schools. “I was
assigned a project to teach my class about a charity that has
touched my heart. I chose your charity because you help
everyone around the world…I used glow sticks to show
equipment that you have.”
Danny, a grade 5 student at the Leo Baeck Day School, wrote “I
was assigned a project to teach my class about Magen David
Adom…For my event, I did a game where my classmates had to
find a word that I chose out of a list of five words. Then they
had to spell it with foam letters. I’m glad I got a chance to
teach my class about Magen David Adom.”
