United for Protection and Central Hatzalah have announced the 3rd annual Hatzalah-thon, a week-long campaign in support of the Hatzalah organization.
Beginning on Sunday, May 15th, for 1 week, we will say thank you to the brave Hatzalah members in our communities, and show our support and gratitude for everything they do for us.
Last year’s Hatzalah-Thon fundraiser reached the historic goal of eighteen million dollars.
The “Hatzalah Week” campaign, organized by United for Protection as a week of support and celebration in honor of Hatzalah members around the world, received an outpouring of support from across the globe, as people expressed their appreciation to the volunteers who were on the front lines during the pandemic and have dedicated their lives to helping others in need 24/7.
Over 81,000 Jews from all walks of life donated to the historic campaign to show their appreciation for the unsung heroes in their communities.
United for Protection was founded by businessmen Beryl Junik, Shloimy Greenwald and Zalmy Cohen, who set out to write a Torah scroll to strengthen the world against the terrible pandemic. The writing of the first and second Unity Torahs have been called a “historic endeavor” by many for the unprecedented unity it has brought to Klal Yisroel across the globe by uniting hundreds of thousands who have purchased letters.
The proceeds of the Unity Torah campaigns have been donated to Hatzalah branches worldwide.
During last year’s Hatzalah Week, the second Unity Torah, which was dedicated to Hatzalah members worldwide, was completed on Lag BaOmer, in a star-studded event with the biggest names in Jewish music.
Join this year’s Hatzalah-thon campaign beginning on May 15. Stay tuned for details.
