When people say “it stays in the family,” they usually mean loyalty or shared responsibility. For the Farkash family, it also means responding to medical emergencies together.
Seven siblings — Avraham, Rivki, Shlomi, Meir, Leah, David and Elisha Farkash — all volunteer with Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service, in the Jerusalem region. Leah’s husband, Elazar, is also a volunteer. The commitment spans generations: Avraham is 41, while the youngest sibling, Elisha, is 19.
“The first were Avraham, Shlomi and Meir, who have been volunteering for many years,” Leah said. “In recent years the rest of us joined, each at a different time, without coordinating with one another. It turns out we all caught the volunteering bug.”
