2024: Friends of the Israel Defense Forces
From my earliest memories, my dad spoke of Israel not just as a homeland but as a sanctuary—a place of hope, resilience, and unity for our people, wherever they may be. Growing up under the weight of persecution, he understood more deeply than most the necessity of a land where Jews could stand tall, unafraid, and united.
The atrocities of October 7th laid bare the cruel cost of freedom and the ongoing threat faced not only by Israel but by Jews around the world. A year later, the danger persists. Yet so does the heroism of those who stand on the front lines, sacrificing everything to defend Israel and its people.
This year, it is my honor to donate $25,000 in my dad’s name to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces to help ensure these heroes receive the unwavering support, resources, and care they need – both during their service and beyond. May it help ensure a future where Israel remains a beacon of hope, strength, and refuge for generations to come.
