I have to tell you a story, but this isn’t just any story. This is a story of childhood friendships, of “random introductions”, of coincidence after coincidence, of private jets, and ultimately, of life saving circumstances.
I promise you, this one you want to read.
Four decades ago, growing up in Queens, one of my closest friends was a boy named Avishai Neuman. Our families were close and we were very good friends.
Remember that name.
Wow, this story has so many moving parts, I’m contemplating how to even write this…
Next part of the story is a family named Kuhr.
Hillel Kuhr, who now lives here in Israel was in Ari’s class in elementary school. His parents, Phyllis and Moshe Kuhr have been friends with my parents for many many years.
Anyway, for years now, on Pesach, the Fuld family joins the Kuhrs at a resort up north. This year was no different.
We were there for most of the week and when it came to the final day of Pesach, Racheli and I were on the fence whether to stay or to go somewhere else. We ultimately decided to stay.
Next story.
Many years ago, my friend, Israel Schachter, who I call the CIO, Chief Introductions Officer made yet another epic intro. He introduced me to an organization called Hatzolah Air.
This organization started by Eli Rowe will fly anywhere around the world to save someone in need. Whether it’s to fly an organ to someone in need, to bring someone to the funeral of a loved one, or when there is a medical emergency and someone needs to fly to a hospital, Hatzolah Air comes to the rescue
Captain Eli Rowe, who is a pilot himself, often flies the planes himself and now Dr. Avishai Neuman (remember him?) both supports the organization financially and plays an active role in running it.
I personally experienced Hatzolah Air, thankfully not for an emergency but when I was in Wisconsin for camp years ago and needed to get to NY.
They happened to have an empty plane in the area after a mission, so they flew me, Racheli, and the twins private to NY. It was just incredible, not only because we got to fly private, but because I got to experience this remarkable organization first hand.
And now, the final story. A long time ago, I randomly connected with a man named Bruce Gurfein. We connected on Twitter but never met. That is, until earlier this year when I had a business trip to Singapore with a stopover in Dubai.
Bruce not only lives in Dubai but he’s kinda a big deal over there. He knows absolutely everyone.
When I arrived, he was kind enough to spend the whole day with me bringing me around to see super cars, to eat fine kosher cuisine, and to teach me about all the different tourist attractions.
