Over the last few months, we all discovered the tremendous power and strength of unity. Together, we were touched by our IDF soldiers\u2019 dedication to saving lives.
\nThe IDF soldiers display that same dedication on another front: by joining Ezer Mizion\u2019s International Bone Marrow Donor Registry in the course of their chain of conscription at the Induction Center. Every soldier who joins the Registry expands its scope and increases the chances of saving the life of a patient in need of a transplant.
\nAt a festive ceremony held recently to celebrate 500 life-saving transplants that took place thanks to soldiers\u2019 stem cell donations, Defense Minister Moshe (Bugi) Ya\u2019alon said: \u201cEzer Mizion personifies all that is good and noble in our lives. It leads a journey that is all about giving, saving life, and mutual responsibility. \u2018All Jews are guarantors for one another.\u2019 And of course, the IDF soldiers are guarantors for the safety of our country\u2019s citizens, in whatever situation they are called upon to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief of Staff General Benny Gantz said at the ceremony: \u201cThe saying goes, \u2018What you give is yours forever.\u2019 I believe that a person\u2019s ability to give of himself to someone other than himself is a gift that cannot be taken from him. Giving is something that remains forever. A person who is privileged to save a life always retains that feeling of fulfillment and tremendous joy. The IDF will continue, above all else, to focus on the goal of defending Israel and the Jewish nation.\u201d
\nEzer Mizion is responsible for the cost of lab testing and processing all the samples collected from IDF soldiers. For the New Year, Ezer Mizion has launched a campaign to raise the funds necessary for this important cause and for their other support services for patients and their families, under the slogan: \u201cContributing Together to Save Lives!\u201d<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
