Testimonials

"It is my joy and duty to support the FIDF, to help the young men and women who defend and preserve our Jewish nation. Without the IDF, Israel wouldn't exist. Israel is the place of my soul, my dreams, and my people. The actions I take as an FIDF supporter; from attending a function, to giving a gift, to encouraging a friend to join us; make a big difference to the IDF soldiers. It seems like such a simple way to play a role in Israel's safety and future."

- Sloane Citron, San Francisco Bay Area Board Chairman

"Without the IDF there would be no Israel!"

- Lisa Cohen, San Francisco Bay Area Board President

"The story of Israel’s Economic Miracle” as described in “Start Up Nation” by Dan Senor could not have happened without the important role of the IDF."

“Battlefield Entrepreneurs” The culture of leadership, risk management, innovations and team work is being taught and practiced from age 18 at the IDF. The role of the IDF provides inspiring insights into what’s behind Israel’s dynamic economy.
This is above and beyond the fundamental role of the military defense forces."

- Ricki Alon, Board Member

"Israel is in very real terms on the front lines of a war against democracy and liberty by a fanatical and determined enemy. It is the men and women of the IDF who bravely protect Israel and by proxy the United States against the same forces that oppose our freedoms and way of life. It is our responsibility as both friends and allies of Israel to support her and the IDF against a ruthless foe bent on eliminating Israel and her people. Through its many programs directly impacting the lives of soldiers and their families, the FIDF provides the perfect vehicle to fulfill this responsibility."

- Ross Dargahi, Board Member

"As a former member of the IDF, I witnessed the impact of a contribution, a new basketball court, on the wellbeing of my platoon. It truly is a way for us here to help those that put their lives on the line. Our financial involvement touches lives and makes a difference that you can experience firsthand. That’s a special and very motivating opportunity."

- Amnon Rodan, San Francisco Bay Area Board Member
