Nachum welcomed Yakir Wachstock to this morning’s JM in the AM to discuss Boots for Israel’s “Boots on the Ground” campaign going on now. Visit the campaign page HERE.

Boots for Israel started with a phone call just a few days after October 7th. Israeli General Daniel Jacobs heard there might be someone in Holliswood Queens NY that could help his unit get the tactical military boots they so desperately needed. Many of the reservists who returned to serve had broken old boots that would not serve them well in Gaza or Lebanon. He insisted that we were his only hope. Holliswood queens is known for a lot of things, but outfitting an army was never one of them! Regardless, we mobilized to help our Israeli brothers and sisters who are fighting on the front lines. By amazing luck one of our community members, a shoe wholesaler, happened to have these exact types of boot in stock in his warehouse. His generosity has enabled us to get these boots over to Israel at dramatically reduced rates. Word of Holliswood Boots for Israel has spread, and now we are receiving many requests daily from units across Israel in need of boots. They send us their specific sizes of the boots they need and we pack them and get them to Israel often the very next day. We want to be able to continue to provide Boots for Israel for as long as they need them. Please donate to help us with our mission.
