our impact
A gift to the soldiers of the IDF is the single best investment to transform all of Israel.
“Without the soldiers of the IDF, there would be no Israel. They risk their lives on our behalf; I do my part to give them love and support during their service, and make sure that they have opportunities ahead afterwards.”
