A dollar a day is helping power Israel’s lifesaving first responders

United Hatzalah founder Eli Beer hosted Dr. Jonathan Donath and the Daily Giving board at the organization’s Jerusalem headquarters, spotlighting a partnership built around one simple model: thousands of Jews giving small daily donations that add up to real impact. Beer said Daily Giving now has more than 20,000 people giving just $1 a day and thanked the group for supporting United Hatzalah’s lifesaving work.    

Daily Giving pools those small gifts and sends the money to vetted Jewish nonprofits. The organization says donors can start with as little as $1 a day, and that 100% of Daily Givers’ donations go to beneficiaries, with operations covered separately by private donors.  

For United Hatzalah, that kind of steady grassroots support matters. The Israeli emergency medical service operates 24/7, free of charge, with more than 8,600 active volunteers and a 90-second response goal across Israel.  

Jewish music star Mordechai Shapiro was also seen with the group, with Beer noting his involvement in Daily Giving. A small daily act, multiplied by thousands, is becoming a serious engine for saving lives in Israel.
