Avi Ravina, a Haredi journalist for Kol Hai News, reported on twitter last night that the rabbis on the rabbinic committee of Ichud Hatzala are threatening to resign from their positions. they claim, according to the report, that Ichud Hatzala has gotten less and less Haredi of an organization over time, and has turned into more of an Israeli organization. To rectify the situation it seems that they want Ichud Hatzala to separate the Haredi volunteers into a separate division, under the umbrella of a separate "non-profit", from the rest of the volunteers.

If this should happen, they would still serve together, side by side saving lives, just be called two separate things and be fundraised for under two different names? Or would they serve separately as separate life-saving organizations, maybe each taking control of different areas or maybe each competing for the same calls?

I am not sure how this would work but initially it sounds like a superficial demand, to just call it two separate organizations even though they will both continue to function in saving lives together. This seems to be about appearances - it seems less Haredi - and not actually about saving lives, or specific halachic issues that have become problematic.

Hopefully this will blow over and turn into nothing significant. Hatzala has grown into such a powerful life-saving organization, clearly doing something right - it would be a shame to tinker with that.

And I am pretty sure Hatzala is still thought of as mostly a Haredi organization in identity, if that is important to some people.
