Hatzolah - RUOK Day Thursday 10th September 2020

Today, Thursday 10th September 2020, is "R U OK? Day".

Hatzolah is built on two fundamental core values:

1. "You shall not stand idly by the blood of another"
לא תעמוד על דם רעך
(Leviticus 19:16)

2. "Love your fellow man as yourself"
ואהבת לרעך כמוך
(Leviticus 19:18)

Asking a simple question - "R U OK?" - can help save a life.

"2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. In the lead-up to R U OK? Day we'll help Australians know what to say when someone says they're not OK and guide them through how they can continue a conversation that could change a life."

"If someone says they're not OK, make time to listen, encourage action and check in. That conversation could change, or even save, their life." - Information sourced from www.ruok.org.au
