On Sunday, March 18, a Potomac family dedicated an ambulance for Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s emergency medical service. The dedication took place at , 11510 Falls Road in Potomac where 170 students at the Har Shalom Religious School got a chance to tour the ambulance. The students, ages 5 to 13, climbed inside the ambulance and were able to explore.
The ambulance will be shipped to Israel where it will join Magen David Adom’s fleet of standard ambulances and Mobile Intensive Care Units.
The ambulance is donated by Madeline and Robert Vermut, and their children Nicole and Michael Vermut, and Jill and Kenneth Brodkowitz. The ambulance honors the memory of their parents and grandparents, Miriam and Burt Roper and Frieda and Julius Vermut. Another dedication ceremony will also take place in Princeton, NJ where Nicole and Michael Vermut live, at a date to be determined.
