Hat zo l ah’ s Fundra i s ing
Convenor, Philip Jacobson,
deals with his position as he
does with both his business
and philanthropic activities –
efficiently and quietly. This
big hearted, avid art and
culture lover is a generous,
kind and charitable family
man who prefers to stay in
the shadows while he gets on
with the job at hand. A true
Baal Chessed.

I was originally asked by
Clive Breger to join the
fundraising team and I
saw this as an opportunity
t o d o s o m e e x t r a
community work. To
fundraise for Hatzolah has
now become a privilege. I
stand in awe of the
humility and dedication of
the people involved in the
organisation. When I see
the selfless commitment
and genuine care of the dispatchers and responders (the
vast majority on a voluntary basis), whether it be for a life-
saving emergency or to help an elderly person living alone
to get out the bath, I feel very grateful tobe part of this team.
I am also thankful to our community for their enormous
generosity in sustaining Hatzolah and recognising the need
for the most advanced emergency medical care. I also pay
tribute to Phillip Jacobson for the tremendous work that he
has done in keeping Hatzolah on the road for so many years
beforeMark [Uria] and I joinedhis effort.
WISH LIST
In 1941 Winston Churchill,
in a plea to the American
President FD Roosevelt,
uttered the famous words,
“Give us the tools so that we
can do the job”. His pleawas
for financial assistance at a
time where the free world
was on t he br i nk o f
collapse. It was a time that
demanded “deeds and not
words”.
A s a f u n d r a i s e r f o r
Hatzolah, these words ring
so true. Our community and our greater community benefit
so greatly from the deeds and the “job” that the Hatzolah
teamdoes. The commitment and the passion of all of our staff
and our volunteers is something that we can be so proud of.
They are in the business of saving lives and giving us all the
comfort that, if G-d forbid something goes wrong, we have
themto call and to rely on.
My job and indeed all of ours is to “give themthe tools” so that
they cando this job.
I thank everyone for their support, no matter the magnitude,
aswithout thiswe simply couldnot do the deeds.
