Facing the sea breeze, on June 25th, a musical event – a unique, rare, and moving concert featuring the greatest names in Chassidic and Jewish music – took place at the Caesarea Amphitheater.
The concert was held under the title “Winning for Life,” initiated by the Friends of Magen David Adom in Israel. The evening was dedicated to the memory and lasting legacy of the 34 Magen David Adom personnel who fell in the line of duty while saving lives.
This is the third consecutive time a concert organized by the Friends of Magen David Adom has achieved such a great success, with the event declared “sold out” ten days before the scheduled date.The event was intended to thank the thousands of Magen David Adom volunteers who risked their lives in life-threatening situations to save others, and in memory of the dozens of volunteers who gave their lives in this mission. Magen David Adom personnel have saved tens of thousands of lives, working around the clock, day and night, during the October 7th attack attack on October 7th, under prolonged rocket threats and under the threat of rockets that lasted for many months.Proceeds from the concert will help further strengthen Magen David Adom at this time, as the organization needs to purchase blood donation vehicles, bulletproof ambulances, and special 4×4 intensive care rescue vehicles.
The concert included the following artists:
Performers included Yitzchak Meir Helfgot, Ishay Ribo, Shulem Lemmer, Yonatan Razel (who was also in charge of the musical arrangement and conducting of the evening), along with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Bar Gottfried, as well as musical surprises including the African Hebrews Israelites of Dimona and Amir Dadon. The event was produced by Yitzchak Rashi and hosted by media personality Sivan Rahav Meir.Among the honored guests were Health Minister Uriel Busso (who himself volunteers with Magen David Adom himself), Chairman of the Magen David Adom Executive Committee Avraham Mandler, Magen David Adom Director General Eli Bin, and Chairman of Friends of Magen David Adom in Israel Gil Weiser.
Magen David Adom Director-General Eli Bin praised the activity work of thousands of volunteers during the war. “Tonight’s event is special, combining all the beliefs, principles, and values by which Magen David Adom employees, volunteers, and supporters operate. This entire evening is a tribute to all those who dedicate themselves to helping others and to saving lives in Israel. For ninety-four years, and especially since October 7th, Magen David Adom personnel have been fighting to protect life, freedom, and the values that are at the foundation of the State of Israel. The spirit of Magen David Adom is what drives responders to leave their families on Friday evening to help others, enabling us to face any challenge, no matter how complex…”
Thanks to the event, close to nearly 6 million shekels were raised, an amount that will be matched by Magen David Adom’s honorable donors who already have committed to purchasing ten bulletproof ambulances and five 4×4 vehicles, valued at four million dollars.
Orly Ariel, CEO of Friends of Magen David Adom: “Thanks to the presence of thousands at this event, alongside many donors – company managers executives and philanthropists – we have been able to gain vital and important support to strengthen Magen David Adom at this time. I thank everyone on behalf of the people of Israel and on behalf of Magen David Adom for their trust and support.”
