Episode 3 -From Volunteer to Visionary: Andre Roitman’s Journey with Hatzalah | Transcend with Yaffa Featuring Andre Roitman, Founder of Hatzalah South Florida
What does it mean to transcend fear, comfort, and ego—to live for something bigger than yourself?
Today’s guest, Andre Roitman, didn’t just join Hatzalah—he helped take it from 20 volunteers and $2,000 in the bank to a thriving organization with over 300 volunteers and a multimillion-dollar budget.
In this powerful conversation, we talk about:
•Growing up in Brazil and finding his Jewish identity
•The culture shock of entering yeshiva in the U.S.—and the gifts it gave him
•Building Jewish life in Miami, including shuls and community projects
•His journey with Hatzalah—from EMT to leader and fundraiser
•What it means to balance family life with 24/7 responsibility
•The mentors, moments, and mindset that shaped his mission
•And finally, what “transcendence” means to him, in leadership and in life
Andre’s story is about showing up—not just at emergencies, but in every part of life. It’s about what happens when you choose mission over comfort, responsibility over ego, and vision over fear.
Whether you’re leading a family, a business, or a community, this episode will inspire you to rise above the noise and live with purpose.
Keep transcending, my friends—one step, one mitzvah, and one moment of truth at a time.
