The pioneer who transformed volunteer medical first response into a global movement, Rabbi Hershel Weber was welcomed at Ben Gurion Airport by volunteers from United Hatzalah upon his arrival in Israel.
It was a true honor for United Hatzalah volunteers to welcome Rabbi Hershel Weber at Ben Gurion Airport tonight as he arrived in Israel.
Rabbi Weber founded Hatzalah in Williamsburg in the late 1960s. Since then, the model has grown into dozens of Hatzalah organizations across the United States and around the world.
His vision helped shape a global movement of volunteer responders saving lives every day.
Our volunteers were honored to assist with his journey to Meron for Lag BaOmer.
