Nachum welcomed Rabbi Steven Weil, National Director and CEO of the “Friends of the Israel Defense Forces” (FIDF), to this morning’s JM in the AM to discuss his recent appointment to the position and to get an FIDF update.

About the FIDF:
Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) is a non-political, non-military organization that provides for wellbeing of the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), veterans and family members. We are the single organization authorized to represent the IDF across the United States and Panama, as designated by Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, IDF Chief of the General Staff in March 2017 and by Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi, IDF Chief of the General Staff in February 2019.

The Israeli government is responsible for training IDF soldiers and providing them with the necessary tools for their service. FIDF is committed to providing these soldiers with love, support, and care to ease the burden they carry on behalf of the Jewish community worldwide.

Established in 1981 by a group of Holocaust survivors. FIDF is a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation that operates 20 regional offices in the United States with headquarters in New York City.
