    One thing though, You are not a current member, and all your knowledge of Hatzolah and its assumed Politics are suspect. Bank that.

    there are no “politics” for someone to get accepted or denied into Hatzolah.

    If your neighborhood is looking for new members, and they feel you are sincere in your reasons for wanting to join Hatzolah, with gentle persistance you eventually will get accepted-

    In many cases the people with “connections” are the ones that do not get accepted right away- it is a case of “who you dont know” as opposed to “who you know”.

    I sincerely hope the OP was merely writing in jest.

    If not- grow up— welcome to the real world of paying bills and being responsible for yourself, and not mooching off other people.

    My gosh what a crime—-

    I guess it will not be the KCL- What has Lakewood turned into (dripping with sarcasm)????

    I take it that the OP is an out-of towner-

    Hatzoola was started by a Rabbi webber in Williamsburg in the 70’s due to the slow response of the city- It started first with only oxygen tanks, and slowly grew to what it is today- the largest volunteer medical service in the world. Response times are legendary fast- and the care given is as if the EMT’s are treating family members.

    That is a few reasons why you call 230 1000 first-

    Yes, I am a member

    SMS007 and Getzel- I am a Hatzolah member for close to ten years so don’t give me the hogwash about Chesed, and volunteers. My question was, should I feel guilty about throwing out their letter- both of you seemed to miss that part-

    What about when Chaveirim does NOT show up? What about when they do not bother to call you back to let you know that they do not have anyone in that vicinity (local Heimishe neighborhood)? Should I feel guilty when I throw their letter in the garbage when they have a fund-raiser?

    True story BTW

    Emergencycareny- Check their website-

    Google it- They offer many different choices for locations and hours-

    I have no connection to them except for attending one of the courses that was given there-

    To the OP-

    I once had a Fundraiser for a Lakewood girl school come knocking on my Brooklyn door.

    I sat him down, gave him a drink; He gave me his Spiel how wonderful and Chashuve his school is.

    I asked him if this school accepts working parents, or fathers who wear colored shirts.

    He could not give me a straight answer.

    I could not give him a check.

    The only way for these families who moved in to be accepted, is by you getting off your high horse, and make them feel welcome.

    By you staring at them with a look of distain on your face will not help the situation.

    You reek of Kinnah, which for someone as holy as you, is uncharacteristic.

    A Chashuva Rebbe at a prestigious Yeshiva once told me that the difference between my white shirt and many of the white shirts around the Bais Medrash, was that the emblem on my shirt absorbed the grease.

    Btw on a serious note; two Bachurim from a Brooklyn Yeshiva have put together a Suit Gmach (by lunch and supper only) to help those who cannot afford to buy expensive nice clothing. Most of the clothes are designer names, new or gently used. For more info please call (917) 757-0654.

    YHN- you assumed correctly. It is an intersection with two lanes for each side of traffic plus a turning lane. No, the car was not blocking anything except the bus stop thus having zero whatsoever to do with the actual accident.

    My point is, sometimes we judge people or things a bit too quickly. Every once in a while we get subtle or not so subtle hint or message that life is too short for “narishkeit”.
