NEW YORK – June 16, 2025 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP sponsored United Hatzalah’s Annual New York Gala on Wednesday, June 11, at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
United Hatzalah is a community-based volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) organization committed to providing the fastest response to medical emergencies across Israel, even prior to the arrival of ambulances and completely free of charge. Greenberg Traurig has a longstanding relationship with the organization.
Greenberg Traurig Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum presented the Greenberg Traurig Courage Award to United Hatzalah volunteer Dr. Tamar Shlezinger for the role she played in helping children survivors of the Oct. 7 massacre.
“It is a privilege to present Tamar with the Greenberg Traurig Courage Award, recognizing her extraordinary bravery, compassion, and unwavering commitment to service in the face of unimaginable adversity. Her selfless actions and leadership serve as an inspiration to us all,” Rosenbaum remarked. “As a firm with an office and team on the ground in Tel Aviv, Greenberg Traurig remains deeply committed to supporting the Israeli community and to standing alongside organizations like United Hatzalah, whose lifesaving work exemplifies the very best of humanity. ”
Remembering his visit to Israel in November 2023, which included a stop at the United Hatzalah offices, Rosenbaum continued, “Our support for our Israeli family is unwavering.”
