Israeli MDA (Magen David Adom) paramedic, Shira Applebaum Maresky, spoke in Vancouver, BC, Canada about her father and sister, who were murdered in the Café Hillel suicide bombing on the eve of a great family simcha and how she carries on their legacy in her work today.
Maresky, who was born in Jerusalem and still lives there today, is daughter of Rabbi Dr. David Applebaum Z"L of NY and the sister of Navah Appelbaum who was a renowned medical researcher. Maresky has been a paramedic in MDA Jerusalem for five years and a certified instructor who has trained international Red Cross staff.
