hatzoloh's calling

הצלת נפשות
Saving Lives

Sanctity of life plays a central role in Judaism, to the extent that
practicing Jews are permitted to violate the sanctity of the Sabbath to
preserve it.

From coordinating, training, funding, equipping, maintaining, and
responding – keeping Hatzoloh running smoothly is anything but
simple. But in a community that values life above all else, there is
simply no price too high or effort too great.

Hatzoloh is manned by an army of trained volunteers. At any given moment, our brave responders put their lives
on pause to respond to emergencies, often leaving their families, jobs, children and warm beds to save a life.
