ISRAEL CAN’T SURVIVE WITHOUT MDA - MDA CAN’T SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU.
The National Board of Directors and
Staff extend to our Donors, Families and
Friends a very Healthy and Happy
Shana Tova - 5770
Let us pray for peace in our beloved Israel
- Am Y'Israel Chai
RO SH HASHANA / FALL 2009 / 5770 • NATIONAL EDITION
Ceremony for the dedication of a Mobile
Intensive Care Unit in the Neve Shaanan
Stadium in Haifa, during the Maccabiah Games
Holiday greetings from
Norton Segal Q.C.
National President
As I reflect on the past year,
I am very proud to have served
for the past 3 years as National
President for this invaluable
organization. Our chapters all
across Canada have been
working diligently to raise the
necessary funds to ensure that
Israeli citizens have the best
emergency equipment.
Israel relies heavily on the
support of the Diaspora and as
Canadians we can be proud that
we have been able to provide
support in times of crisis.
As the holiday of Rosh
Hashanah approaches, it is a
time when we make our
commitments and set new
goals for the upcoming year.
It is my hope that this year
Canadian Magen David Adom
for Israel will be able to increase
the amount of ambulances,
scooters, and medical supplies
that Israel relies on.
Your support is greatly
appreciated and we know we
can continue to count on your
generosity.
On behalf of the National Board
of Directors, I wish you and your
families a healthy, prosperous
and Sweet New Year.
L’Shana Tova
Norton Segal Q.C,
National President
ISRAEL - Mr. Lewis Rose and his
children, Bradley, Samantha and
Ashley, from Toronto, Canada,
donated a Mobile Intensive Care
Unit through the Friends of MDA
in Canada.
The MICU is in the MDA station in
Nahariya, and up until now has
been called upon to treat about
2,500 patients and wounded. The
donors chose to have the
dedication ceremony in the
Football Stadium in Neve
Shaanan, Haifa, during the
Maccabiah Games.
Bradley, the oldest son, is on the
Canadian Football (soccer) team at
the Maccabiah, as well as his sister
Samantha, who is on the Canadian
Women's Football (soccer) team.
Before the ceremony we watched
an enthralling football game, with
a lot of goals, between the
Canadian and Swiss teams.
Bradley kicked the winning goal a
few minutes before the end of the
game, ensuring a 3-2 victory for
the Canadian team.
L-R: Lewis Rose, Itai Davidi, Bradley Rose and Ashley Rose.
Shimon Biton – the Director of the
Carmel Region, Erez Geller –
Paramedic in charge of the Carmel
Region and Itai Davidi – a long
serving Paramedic from the Asher
Region, and an ambulance team
from the Carmel Region, standing
on call at the Games, all celebrated
with members of the family.
The family’s rejoicing and that of
the MDA personnel who in this
instance supported the Canadian
team was a double one. We were
privileged to get to know and to
appreciate and rejoice with this
warm and generous family who
are actively carrying out the
Zionist spirit, the Maccabiah spirit
and the spirit of volunteering
shown by MDA in Israel and
abroad.
Calgary Friends show appreciation
On May 5, 2009, Calgary Friends presented a Certificate of
Recognition to William Katz for his personal commitment
and efforts on behalf of MDA.
(L – R) Mrs. Nava Wainer, Vice-President and Founding
Member, makes presentation to William Katz, an "Unsung
Hero" and MDA volunteer, who described his "real life
experience" on the front line of MDA life-saving activities
in Israel.

El Al and MDA in a joint
venture to encourage
people to donate blood
ISRAEL - Eli Cohen, Deputy Managing Director
of Trade and Aviation Links in El Al: “El Al, as a
national company, is today starting a joint
campaign with MDA to encourage blood
donations during the summer months, a period
during which there is normally a reduction in the
amount of blood donated. Within this framework,
El Al is pleased to give its passengers a present of
membership in the Frequent Flyers Club and
membership points.”
MDA Director General, Eli Bin, praised the joint
venture: “In this joint venture, El Al has proven
that even a commercial company can have a high
level of social awareness donating to the
community in an important subject –
encouragement of blood donations during the
summer holiday period when there is usually a
drastic decline in blood donations. I appeal to all
the public to take part in the joint national effort
to keep blood supplies at a reasonable level.” El Al
and MDA are today starting a joint project, during
which every blood donor will be entitled to free
membership in the El Al Frequent Flyers Club and
to a gift of 20 points.
Donors who are already members of the club with
be entitled to a gift of 20 points in their account.
Every donor will receive a post card with a special
registration link for blood donors, through which
they can get into the El Al site,
register free for the club and
receive the gift of free points.
If the donor is already a
member of the club, his blood
donation will automatically
give him 20 points.

Gospel Road Mother's Day with the Israeli 911 Service
Larry Heather, host of radio talk show Gospel
Road, 1140 on the AM dial, High River, Alberta
was present at the special fund raising event put
on by Calgary Friends of MDA, on May 5th, 2009
at Calgary’s Beth Tzedec Synagogue. Dr. Samuel
Weiss, Director of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute
and a recipient of the prestigious Gairdner Foundation Award amongst many others. was the
guest lecturer at this event, speaking on Neural
Stem Cell research and recent scientific developments in that field. He received a standing ovation for his exceptionally stimulating and
intellectually edifying lecture.
This was Heather’s second radio talk show focusing on the humanitarian efforts of MDA in Israel, featuring interviews with Arnold Rosner, Sam
Wainer, William Katz and his mother, Deborah. Mr.
Heather’s particular interest lay in Calgary Friends’
latest campaign for the purchase of unique ambulance equipment – a sophisticated mobile infant
incubator-ventilator-transport bed.
In the course of Mr. Heather’s interview with
Arnold Rosner on the program, Mr. Rosner noted
that MDA ambulances until now had to borrow a
local hospital incubator, depriving the pre-natal
unit therein of one of its precious machines in
order to transport a much higher risk infant. This
process would require co-ordination and additional
re-jigging of the MICU Ambulance. The new system is designed to be inserted into the interior of
the ambulance with ease, thus saving precious
minutes and increasing the utility, flexibility and
capability to provide additional life-saving services.
William Katz and his mother, Deborah, recalled William’s experiences as a student MDA volunteer while serving on board the ambulances and
at MDA stations, particularly during the 2006 war
with Lebanon. Mrs. Katz was invited to the program because it was broadcast on Mother’s Day
and she could present a mother’s perspective about
her son’s experiences.
Sam Wainer, Co-President of Calgary Friends,
was present to speak about Calgary Friends of
MDA and to respond to questions about the current Incubator Campaign.
We wish to thank Larry Heather for helping to
educate his listeners about MDA Israel’s essential
life-saving activities and we hope that he will join
Nava & Sam Wainer, CoChairs of Calgary Friends’
May 5th Campaign.
CMDA National
Executive Director
Arnold Rosner
us for future Calgary Friends’ events.
Especially large kudos go out to the Calgary
Friends of MDA Board Members for their on-going
efforts in organizing the 2009 Calgary Emergency
Incubator Campaign as well as previous campaigns. It is because of their dedication and commitment that the campaign results were successful.

A great Movie...
A great Event
As of March this year, Winnipeg has its very
own CMDA chapter, and the group has wasted
no time – putting on its first major event on Aug
24, kicking things off on a high note and
signalling more quality programming to come.
The Aug event is a screening of the film, “The
Original Promise,” that paints a picture of the
real Israel (i.e. not just CNN sound bites). The
documentary includes interviews with the
average Israelis and Canadians on the streets,
and includes the sights, sounds, smells, and
tastes of modern Israeli society. Following the
movie screening is a panel discussion with
David Matas, Dr. James Christie, and Erez
Rotem, emceed by 92.2 Kick-FM’s host of
The Great Canadian Talk Show, Marty Gold.
Event co-sponsors are B'nai Brith Canada
and Manitoba-Israel Shared Values Round
Table. Upcoming local CMDA events,
following The Original Promise film and
discussion include speaking events, school
presentations, blood donation clinics, firstaid training, craft workshops, and more. To

An Olympic Event
22-year old Omri Geva is seen posing in an official MDA fleecetop uniform, in front of athletes from other countries, just after
completing a race on the international circuit in the Winter
Olympic sport of skeleton. Along with his female team mate, 25year old Aliyah Snyder, they both hurl themselves head-first down
the mountain at speeds reaching over 120 km/hr and forces up to
5Gs, on long-shot hopes of qualifying for the 2010 Winter Olympic
Games in Vancouver. They took a major step forward by
representing Israel at this spring's America's Cup competition in
Lake Placid, NY - which was the first time Israel ever competed
internationally in this sport.
With his father and brother both in the field of medicine, Omri is a big supporter of MDA, and grew up with
an MDA pushka in his room in which he'd make tzedakah of loose change. Vancouver and Calgary MDA
chapters, both being Winter Olympic cities, are considering a possible event celebrating Omri's passion for MDA
and his Olympic dreams... stay tuned for more info!
Vancouver MDA Chapter Reveals ‘How Hebrew Became Talk’
Ever been on BenYehuda street in
Tel-Aviv
or
Jerusalem? People
in Vancouver got
to meet the
grandson of that
very same BenYehuda!
On May 21st, a
record turnout
of over 450
people attended
an incredible
multimedia
presentation at
Congregation
Beth Israel that
featured
a
keynote
address
by
Rabbi Dr. Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, grandson of the
man (with the same name) responsible for the
revival of modern Hebrew from "loshen
kodesh" reserved only for scripture,
commentary, and prayer, to what is commonly
spoken today. The idea for the evening was
conceived by Myer Grinshpan, who normally
serves as Publicity Co-ordinator for our chapter,
but took on the role of Event Chair to make his
idea a reality. This was our chapter's bestattended and most multicultural event,
featuring many Christian friends of Israel who
came to hear our guest explain his grandfather's
"Fulfillment of Prophecy" of "One language, one
nation, in our homeland ("am echad, safah
echad, be-artzeynu"). Our audience also
included a contingent of First Nations Peoples
from British Columbia, captivated in the final
part of the evening by Ben Yehuda's message
of hope for all aboriginals seeking to revive their
own traditional languages, by using the
modern-day real example of his grandfather's
vision, tenacity, and leadership to
turn their hopes into reality. After
his keynote multimedia address, our
esteemed guest held an autograph
session of his latest book called “Fulfillment of
Prophesy: The Life story of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda
1858-1922", and donated a portion of the book
sales revenue to Magen David Adom.
Rabbi Dr. Eli Ben-Yehuda is a dynamic,
professional speaker on a number of topics and
is fluent in Hebrew, English, French, Yiddish,
and Arabic. He actually went to university in
Montreal and therefore has a Canadian
connection. Our experience is that he brings a
very diverse crowd together under one roof to
hear him speak because his family story is
fascinating on many different levels. If you're
interested in helping to bring him to your city,
contact your local MDA chapter or for more
information e-mail [email protected].
