Jewish Carpenters of the Galilee

It's hard to reach Amir Peleg, even by cell phone. But given his role as a medic in Ashdod, Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) ambulance corps it's a forgivable excuse. Since moving from New York, where he volunteered as an EMT and fireman, to Israel in January 2009, Amir has been volunteering with MDA. He came to Israel during Operation Cast Lead, when life in Ashdod was radically halted because of the incoming the Kassam missiles from Gaza. After seeing the crisis unfold across southern Israel, he felt Israel "needed him more than ever."
