Yes, @hatzalah is awesome. I was the CEO for 5 years. Hatzalah members were quickly on the scene on 9/11, and while we lost many vehicles and several members died from post-9/11 maladies, miraculously, no members were killed on 9/11 itself. You can learn more about 9/11 and Hatzalah here: 9/11: One Day in America by National Geographic, available on Disney +. I suggest everyone watch. I understand they will be producing an updated version for the 25th anniversary some time this year.

🚨What Is Hatzalah? The story of a life-saving Jewish-run volunteer ambulance service

My heart goes out to my brothers in Hatzolah in Golders Green. I visited the location in 2022 and met the most special members. So proud of what they built to save lives. So painful. For all those politicians who fanned the flames. This is on you. Evil

Following weeks of ongoing issues with multiple potholes at 17th Ave and 44th Street, worsened after the snowstorm and causing numerous flat tires for passing cars, our dedicated Boro Park Chaveirim volunteers stepped in and got it done. When it affects our community, we do what it takes to get the job done. The potholes were patched to help prevent further damage and keep drivers safe. Helping the community, no matter what it takes.
