Stories from Front Line Angel Medics in Israel

Today's guests are an inspiration. Amidst all the bad news we're bombarded with each day, it's uplifting to hear from people who have sacrificed to help others in danger. Rebecca Siegel and Ariella Applebaum are American college students who have spent many months in Israel, as volunteer medics for Magen David Adom, the emergency ambulance service that saves lives of people of all faiths. Their stay included service during Operation Protective Edge. As you can hear in their voices, they not only helped others, but were moved themselves, after these life changing experiences, to fill shoes bigger than they'd ever dreamed. Erik Levis, Communications Director for American Friends of Magen David Adom, describes this overseas volunteer program and the invaluable work of MDA.
