Actress and activist Patricia Heaton delivered a moving and unapologetic message of solidarity at an American Friends of Magen David Adom December event at Boca Raton’s B’nai Torah Congregation.
The evening brought together 250 supporters of Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency services system, for an inspiring program focused on resilience, heroism, and hope.
“I can only imagine how these incredible volunteers from every religious background who serve in Magen David Adom bear their burden,” said Heaton, founder of O7C, a movement calling on people to stand against antisemitism. “How they process the trauma while being of service to their countrymen and women is quite astonishing.”
Honored with AFMDA’s Eternal Light Award, Heaton spoke passionately about moral responsibility and faith. “We can’t sit by. We have to do everything we can in our power, with God’s help, to make sure that the cancer of antisemitism does not spread any further,” she said.
