News & Notes

Friends of Israeli Defense Force Needs your help

As the ceasefire takes hold, hundreds of thousands of IDF soldiers and reservists continue to have critical needs. Friends of the Israeli Defense Force (FIDF) is the sole official organization authorized to collect charitable donations on behalf of the Israel Defense Forces across the United States, and the FIDF is raising emergency funds to provide the enormous humanitarian and welfare needs that the military bases cannot provide. Please consider giving to FIDF at FIDF.org.

The Jewish Federation has also created the Israel Emergency Fund. Please consider donating today.
