Parents, teachers and children of the Yeshiva of Central Queens have presented a new ambulance to the American Red Mogen Dovid for Israel, for shipment to the Magen David Adom, Israel’s national “Red Cross” service. The cost of the ambulance represented only a portion of the $13,000 raised in a vigorous campaign by the Yeshiva.
Two other ambulances for Israel were purchased earlier with money contributed by the children in 50 schools affiliated with the Jewish Educational Committee in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
