As we draw close to the culmination of the third
week in the Iron Swords War, it's impossible to ignore the
profound sorrow and agony that has gripped us. These weeks have
tested our strength and resilience in ways we never thought
possible. However, in the midst of this darkness, a ray of hope
has shone brightly, and that light comes from none other than
you, our cherished volunteers. Your unwavering dedication and selfless
commitment have been a source of solace and support, casting a
much-needed glimmer of hope in these trying times. Your presence
and efforts have made a profound difference, and for that, we are
eternally grateful.
In the upcoming weeks, we will be opening our doors to foreign
volunteers, welcoming you to join us at Sar-El for a unique
volunteering experience. If you choose to sign up during these
times, there are several important considerations to keep in
mind.
1. Please be aware that there is a high likelihood that you
may not be accommodated on the military base itself, as many
bases may not have the capacity to house civilians. In such
cases, we will arrange your lodging in a hotel or similar
accommodations nearby.
2. Volunteer assignments may take you to bases all across Israel,
including those in the southern and northern regions. Specific
locations cannot be guaranteed, as assignments are based on
the IDF's current needs.
3. We strongly recommend purchasing flexible flight tickets,
as circumstances can change rapidly, and we must prioritize your
safety above all else.
4. It's important to note that volunteer hours can be longer
than the standard, ranging from 8 am to 8 pm, owing to the
significant tasks at hand. The work Sar-El is engaged in holds
immense importance for the IDF.
These conditions will be in effect until the end of December. If
you find these terms unsuitable for your situation, we encourage
you to consider postponing your volunteering plans to a later
date. Your support and dedication mean a great deal to us, and we
look forward to having you as part of our team. The
importance of the work being done by Sar-El and its volunteers
cannot be overstated. The IDF relies on our support more than
ever, and your contributions are making a significant difference.
For those who may not be able to volunteer at this time, please
consider donating so that others may have the opportunity to
continue this vital mission. There is a great deal of work ahead,
and every bit of support, whether through volunteering or
donations, plays a crucial role in ensuring the continued success
of our efforts. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to
this Israel.

This week marked a truly remarkable moment as we
had the privilege of welcoming a distinguished delegation of
medical professionals, including world-renowned burn
reconstruction surgeons, plastic surgeons, orthopedic
specialists, radiation oncologists, general practitioners, and
more. These esteemed doctors generously volunteered their
expertise to support the emergency efforts of the IDF. Prior to
their assignments, they diligently completed a specialized course
designed to prepare them for the challenges ahead. We're thrilled
to announce that they have been deployed to bases throughout the
northern and southern regions of Israel for the upcoming weeks.
This marks a significant milestone in Sar-El's history as we
embark on this collaborative endeavor. The bravery and commitment
demonstrated by these medical professionals are truly
awe-inspiring. Their positive feedback regarding the course and
their readiness to dive into their work is a testament to their
dedication and professionalism. Kol hakavod to this exceptional
team for their outstanding contributions.
