NYC is suffering a Blood Emergency ! Blood donors are urgently needed!
Join us, the Hebrew Institute Of Riverdale – The Bayit (HIR), as we pay tribute to the incredible Doctors and Nurses of Soroka Medical Center, who’s legendary dedication to saving lives and serving more than 1 million people of all backgrounds across Southern Israel, is an extraordinary inspiration to us all.
We also partner with and honor the American Friends of Magen David Adom (MDA) for their heroic commitment to saving lives in Israel. Our Blood Center is a proud MDA supporter and is prepared to supply Israel with blood in emergency situations.
Your blood donation can do a double mitzvah, and strengthens the US national blood supply, during the current blood emergency.
