Today’s verse describes how Moses left Pharaoh's palace not only to see the pain of the Jews, but to more deeply feel their suffering. His intense concern for others led him to take responsibility and become the ultimate leader to rescue the Jewish people. In this spirit, ZAKA is Israel’s primary rescue and recovery volunteer organization, with thousands of volunteers on call 24/7 to respond to any terror attack, accident or disaster. In Israel, ZAKA is regularly ranked the most esteemed and respected organization after the IDF. Long after its life-saving treatment of victims, ZAKA performs the sacred work of collecting the remains of the deceased for a proper Jewish burial.

When ZAKA volunteer Chaim Foxman arrived at the scene of a recent Old City stabbing attack, he gave first aid to the victims even though the terrorist was in worse condition. While that may seem like common sense, his action was in violation of new triage guidelines from the Israel Medical Association.
