Attached is a short English subtitled video highlighting our field support for wounded soldiers and their families last week, during the Iran strikes underground at Tel Hashomer Hospital.

Summer in Israel feels different this year!

Schools may be on break, and a ceasefire with Iran is finally in effect, but the Gaza war continues and the aftermath of the recent Iran attacks left far too many wounded soldiers, mourned lives, and broken hearts. Despite the ceasefire; the sirens and bombing continue; the daily struggle of running to bomb shelters, and evacuations have made the ability to return to a normal life almost impossible. 

Unfortunately, families in Israel are still scrambling—not to make summer memories, but to stay alive!

Over 20 months of ongoing attacks have left millions of children in Israel living in fear! Many of their parents are our heroes—IDF soldiers and reservists who’ve sacrificed birthdays, holidays, and everyday comforts to protect Am Yisrael. The recent emergency Tzav 8 drafts, has put thousands of reservists back on the front lines, and far too many are wounded and hospitalized!

Behind every soldier is a family: a mother holding the home together alone, children filled with worry waiting for Abba to come back home, families sitting at the bedside of their wounded hero praying for them to heal; thousands of IDF families are now suffering in financial strain, and empty fridges!

At Global, we’re receiving thousands of urgent requests from IDF bases to help these families!

And what do these brave soldiers ask?

“Please take care of our families.”

Therefore, by donating Food Cards today you are not just giving charity — you are not just showing your support; but you are showing true unity!

Your Food Card donation gives IDF families the dignity to shop for themselves and the comfort of knowing they’re not alone!

Let’s ensure no IDF family is left behind this Summer!

Give with full hearts — and open hands.

Because while sacrifice for our our families— we should care for theirs!

With love and gratitude,

I wish to help my brethren in Israel with pre-paid Food Cards for:

IDF soldiers,

Active IDF reserves, 

IDF families

Injured IDF soldiers

As life continues, and the world focuses on one tragedy after the next, it is easy for many to forget our heroic IDF soldiers/reservists and wounded soldiers still recovering in hospitals — BUT we haven’t forgotten! We’ve been there, and we’re standing by them with all our hearts. 

Below is a video capturing some of the special moments I experienced with these heroes on base bordering Gaza; and our wounded soldiers in Tel Hashomer Hospital

 Attached is a video of our visit to Mount Hermon on the northern border with Syria, to bring joy to our soldiers.  

Attached is a video showcasing IDF reservists on the northern border with Syria, lighting up with joy as they receive Food Cards for their families. The video illustrates how a small gesture can really make a big impact for our soldiers! 

This is just one base’s reaction, but I’ve visited many during the war, and their gratitude and resilience are truly inspiring. Am Yisroel Chai!
