It was a flight nothing short of amazing, as a passenger traveling from Israel to Chicago answered a call for help.
Kahan and his wife were traveling last week on United Flight 141 from Tel Aviv, Israel to Chicago. Two hours into the flight, a man fell face forward in the aisle.Kahan is a trained volunteer EMT with United Hatzalah of Israel — the world's largest fully volunteer free emergency services provider.
With the help of an Israeli doctor on flight, Kahan was able to stabilize a 60-year-old man and a woman in her 20s. "It took us a few seconds until we managed to wake him up. So it was completely unconsciousness. It was not just a fainting. Lucky us there was another doctor on flight…and we managed to stabilized his situation," said Kahan. "While we are just about to relax, we get another call of a young lady in her 20s. She was feeling very weak, and when we came up to her, the doctor and I, we teamed up again. We saw her looking very weak, not good.
It turned out, the woman was suffering from dehydration. Both passengers were stabilized enough to continue nine hours into the rest of the flight.All the news you need to know, every day

At many Passover Seders, Israel unrest will be on the tableThis year, when the slavery-to-freedom story of Passover unfolds, mass demonstrations in Israel will be top of mind for many Jews around the globe. One Seder host plans to recite portions of Israel's Declaration of Independence. Others will connect the traditional symbols on the Seder plate to current divisions over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul. In North America, where the largest number of Jews outside of Israel live, Seder leaders consider the observance a perfect vehicle for discussion of Israel today. Netanyahu leads the most right-wing government in Israeli history. Tens of thousands of people in Israel have turned out in repeated protests against changes that would dilute the independence of judges.
