an appointment
According to the Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a): He who
saves one life … is as if he saved the entire
world. What they say of course applies to all of us, to men
and to women.
It’s that time of year again to fulfill
the mitzvah of pikuach nefesh. When you donate blood, you save three
lives. The Beth Emet Social Action Committee, along with
LifeSource, is
having our annual Blood Drive in the Crown Room on Sunday, March 25th,
from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
As usual, there will be opportunity to nosh and schmooze with
others in the Crown Room during the Blood Drive. We will provide bagels
and cream cheese and have available copies of the New York Times and
other Sunday papers.
In general, you can donate if you:
- Are 17 – 75 years of age.
- Are in good health.
- Weigh at least 110 lbs.
- Have not donated in the last 56 days.
For more specific information about eligibility to donate see
Donor Eligibility
Guidelines provided by LifeSource.
LifeSource says we are one of the largest synagogue/church
blood drives in the Chicago area. Please schedule
an appointment now
and pass the word along to other members and to your friends. You do
not need to be a Beth Emet member to join our blood drive. Everyone is
welcome.
2007 Blood Drive Co-Chairs: Betsy Fuchs, Howard Sachs.
Reminder: Before you donate blood, you need to have a good
breakfast
(or brunch) and drink plenty of water or fruit juice.
