Life is filled with enigmas, those unanswerable questions that have long since been left for poets and philosophers to decipher for us. In his letter to the church in Corinth, the apostle Paul actually puts three of these enigmas; together in one verse: “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13). But what exactly is love? Mankind has tried for millennia to define it. Even the experience of it, however, has somehow left men scratching their heads as they try to explain exactly what “it” is. What about faith? How do you explain a life-governing belief that is sometimes without any evidence at all and certainly without proof? And that brings us to hope.

October 7, 2023 is the date when thousands of terrorists streamed across Israel’s border with Gaza, viciously and brutally killing, raping or kidnapping all who came across their path. It is also the date of heroic action and a fight for life. Among the many heroes were the men and women of Magen David Adom (“Red Shield of David”), Israel’s “national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance and blood bank service.”
For its actions on October 7 and the days that followed, Magen David Adom (MDA) received the International Humanitarian Service award. Presented by the International Red Cross, the award “recognizes an individual or group whose work exemplifies or inspires the humanitarian values of human dignity, respect and compassion.” Let’s take a look at those who answered the cries of the wounded and dying.
