So, next time you see a Magen David Adom ambulance or hear about a Jewish ambulance service, don’t think, “Oh, that’s just for them.” Think, “Oh, that’s a whole crew of people who decided that saving lives is more important than anything else.” It’s like when your neighbor brings over soup when you’re sick—except that soup is a high-tech vehicle with defibrillators and a paramedic named Yossi who knows all the shortcuts to the hospital.
We should care because it reminds us that our differences aren’t walls—they’re windows that let the light of compassion shine through. And if that light comes with a side of latkes (potato pancakes), bon appétit.
