MDA is one of those unsung organizations. These professionals are AMAZING. I personally witnessed them risk their own lives to save others (I was hiding to avoid bullets, they were out on the street ducking!), respond to calls on shabbos with sensitivity and humor, and do their utmost to save fellow Jews. Give them all the honor they deserve!
