Description/Profile/About

Hatzolah Darom endeavors to save lives and ease pain, by training and equipping volunteers to respond to the emergency needs of the residents of Southern Israel.



The continuing emergency in Southern Israel shows no signs of let-up, putting life and limb in danger. Kassam rockets, as well as accidents on the high-speed highways, heart attacks, serious injuries in the home, school or workplace, call for well-equipped and dedicated first responders.



That’s where Hatzolah Darom plays a key role – galvanizing a team of trained volunteers who are ready 24/7 to speed to the scene and render first aid.



Add to this the fact that there are only 3 hospitals to serve this far-flung region, which means ambulance wait times that can make the difference between life and death. That’s where Hatzolah Darom comes in – with its dedicated, certified first responders, working in tandem with Magen David Adom and local municipalities to be there in the first golden minutes and save lives.

What would you do to change the world?

To see a secure Israel where children can play and friends can meet without any threat to security. This will also help to hasten overall peace in our world and reveal G-dliness on all levels.

Humanitarian Aid

Hatzolah Darom

Hatzolah Darom

Life may hang in the balance. Whenever disaster strikes anywhere in Southern Israel, the volunteers of Hatzolah Darom are first to respond.

In cooperation with municipal authorities and the regional MDA (Magen David Adom), they are there.

Emergency aid must be rendered at the crucial moment. Delay can be deadly. Yet due to distances between hospitals, the injured may wait for 20 minutes or more in some cases. Trained, equipped Hatzolah Darom volunteers are dispatched to do whatever is necessary until the ambulance arrives.

In the currently unstable situation in Southern Israel, the need for their services has skyrocketed and the number of volunteers grows daily. They willingly enter high-risk areas and put their own lives on hold. They come from all walks of life, native-born sabras and recent immigrants, religious and secular – all unified in a common cause.

To support Hatzolah Darom with urgently needed equipment (ambucycles, defibrillators, two-way radios, first aid kits, helmets, life vests and more) is the highest Mitzvah – because it saves lives we are calling upon your assistance and help for support in our life saving work:

Hatzolah Darom

Rabbi Michael Schwartz, Executive Director

Hatzolah Ashdod is his vision, born out of a crying need for speedy emergency care in his town of Ashdod. It was so successful and the situation so acute, it expanded to include all of Southern Israel. Rabbi Schwartz was born in Switzerland in 1958 , moved to England in 1964 and came to Israel in 1976. He studied at the Gur Talmudical Academy plus an additional 5 years. He also studied social work, and for 20 years worked with kids on the street with problems. In addition, he has served as director of several schools. These days he spends most of his time shuttling between Israel and the United States, promoting support for Hatzolah Darom. He and his wife Henya have 8 children and 2 grandchildren.

The Volunteers: The Unsung Heroes

These dedicated men, now over 400 in number, spring from all walks of life. They are religious and secular, native and immigrant, old-timers and new arrivals – all united in one purpose, preventing the needless loss of life and easing pain when disaster strikes. They are prepared to drop everything at a moment’s notice and do everything possible until the ambulance arrives. And credit must also be given to the families of these volunteers as well, who also share the burden of possible danger and interruptions to their own personal lives.
