Those who know me well, would know how I often say, “if I were not a rabbi I’d be a helicopter emergency rescue pilot.”
We are very honoured to have someone in our community in Adelaide who does just that. Dr Dan Ellis, works in South Australia in helicopter rescue. He is currently in the Philippines after having been selected amongst four doctors representing South Australia.
