Medical Escort | NZFOI

Yesterday, NZFOI was asked by a Rabbi based in Chicago, to take part in urgently finding a medical professional who could accompany a gravely-ill patient from Auckland to Israel.

The Rabbi advises that a suitable medical escort has been found.

Thanks to all those who response.  It has been heartwarming to see everyone’s eagerness to help.

He asks for everyone’s prayers as there are further hurdles to overcome before the trip is successful.

Ask Me Anything with R Ariel Tal recordings available now

Rabbi Ariel Tal

Last September, Christchurch members were treated to an Ask Me Anything session with Rabbi Ariel Tal of the Wellington Jewish Community Centre.

An enthusiastic and engaging speaker, the crowd were quickly fascinated and intrigued with his answers to questions relating to himself, Judaism and what it is like to live as a Jew in New Zealand.

We’re pleased to announce the video recording of the event is now available. A separate audio file is also available in the same folder. Many thanks to David Allen for making the recordings.

Shana tova!

A new Hebrew year begins at sundown on Sunday evening, goodbye 5779, roll on 5780.

Shana tova to all! May the New Year bring you much joy and happiness

From everyone at NZ Friends of Israel
