25 years ago, United Hatzalah launched in Jerusalem, opened branches all over Israel, and started saving lives in rapid time.
Now, in 2015, United Rescue has launched in Jersey City, NJ. Although United Rescue is its own independent organization, it is planting the flag of United Hatzalah’s model of community-based emergency response in the USA.
This past week, 51 trained volunteers have graduated as volunteer pre-ambulance emergency care givers. These volunteers are trained by the Jersey City Medical Center and integrated into the city’s 911 system as part of an initiative by Jersey City’s Mayor Steven Fulop and United Rescue.
“Celebrating the graduation of 51 new volunteer medics who will help save lives in Jersey City is one of the most rewarding moments I have had,” said Eli Beer, President and Founder of United Hatzalah.

These motorcycle medics are way cool. And, BTW, Jersey City is rocking !! They opened a chasidishe shul there. And prices are pretty cheap. I should move there. Just not sure if they have 1000 tons of salt for upcoming snow falls.
It should be noted that many major cities are looking into doing the same as Jersey City, such as Detroit. What a major kiddish hashem, thanx Eli Beer!!
