This morning, the students of RKYHS and JKHA Middle School had the opportunity to hear the inspiring story of Shira Applebaum Maresky, a paramedic in Israel's Magen David Adom. Ms. Maresky and her family have devoted their lives to supporting terror victims, working as doctors and paramedics in various medical centers around the country. In her speech, she described the incredibly impressive passion and care that her father devoted to his patients, a strength of feeling that caused him to found the Terem Emergency Clinic in Jerusalem, Israel. A few years ago, disaster struck Ms. Maresky's family: the night before her older sister's wedding, both her sister and her father fell victim to a terrorist attack in a coffee shop in Jerusalem. Ms. Maresky movingly detailed the amount of work that she has done in her family member's memory, explaining how she has been able to move on from her own personal disaster to help save the lives of others. Ms. Maresky's dedication is inspirational, and her ability to move beyond her personal disaster and continue to work towards her selfless goals makes her a shining beacon of hope and a role model for all of the Kushner students to whom she spoke.
