Live at the Tribute Evening to Magen David Adom on June 25th 2024

Facing the sea breeze, on June 25th, a musical event - a unique, rare, and moving concert featuring the greatest names in Chassidic and Jewish music - took place at the Caesarea Amphitheater.

The concert was held under the title "Winning for Life," initiated by the Friends of Magen David Adom in Israel. The evening was dedicated to the memory and lasting legacy of the 34 Magen David Adom personnel who fell in the line of duty while saving lives.

This is the third consecutive time a concert organized by the Friends of Magen David Adom has achieved such a great success, with the event declared "sold out" ten days before the scheduled date.The event was intended to thank the thousands of Magen David Adom volunteers who risked their lives in life-threatening situations to save others, and in memory of the dozens of volunteers who gave their lives in this mission. Magen David Adom personnel have saved tens of thousands of lives, working around the clock, day and night, during the October 7th attack attack on October 7th, under prolonged rocket threats and under the threat of rockets that lasted for many months.Proceeds from the concert will help further strengthen Magen David Adom at this time, as the organization needs to purchase blood donation vehicles, bulletproof ambulances, and special 4x4 intensive care rescue vehicles.

The concert included the following artists: Performers included Yitzchak Meir Helfgot, Ishay Ribo, Shulem Lemmer, Yonatan Razel (who was also in charge of the musical arrangement and conducting of the evening), along with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Bar Gottfried, as well as musical surprises including the African Hebrews Israelites of Dimona and Amir Dadon. The event was produced by Yitzchak Rashi and hosted by media personality Sivan Rahav Meir.Among the honored guests were Health Minister Uriel Busso (who himself volunteers with Magen David Adom himself), Chairman of the Magen David Adom Executive Committee Avraham Mandler, Magen David Adom Director General Eli Bin, and Chairman of Friends of Magen David Adom in Israel Gil Weiser.
