1:30 PM - 2:30 PMMAGEN DAVID ADOM ISRAEL: THE LIVED EXPERIENCE Post-Kiddush Program with Daniel Amzallag and special presentations from Ariel Riesenbach, Itay Sofan and Dr. Difat Jakubovicz When stories about violence in Israel appear in the news, we often see Magen David Adom personnel and ambulances in the background. They are so ubiquitous we rarely stop to consider their work and the challenges they often face in Israel’s complex reality. What is it like to be a frontline volunteer with MDA in Israel? This program will share the experiences of MDA volunteers and discuss the daily work of the organization more broadly. Daniel Amzallag is National Media & Volunteers Coordinator for Canadian Magen David Adom for Israel (CMDAI). He has been with Magen David Adom in Israel for 16 years and has vast knowledge and experience as an intensive care unit medic, including being called to respond to Mass-Casualty Incidents (MCI), and as a Medics’ instructor. Ariel Riesenbach volunteered with Magen David Adom in Israel before serving as a lone soldier in the IDF and is now working as a paramedic in Toronto. Itay Sofan, one of our ShinShinim, has also volunteered with Magen David Adom in Israel. Dr. Difat Jakubovicz is a family doctor in Toronto who recently completed a one week volunteer mission with the International Unit of Magen David Adom in Israel.
