Yom Siddurim 2026 💚 9,200 IDF Lone Soldiers came to the EXPO Tel Aviv today for Yom Siddurim, the annual day where government, military and civilian services all set up under one roof. Olim from around the world were there alongside Israeli Lone Soldiers from across the country. The goal: knock out the bureaucracy and everyday stuff that’s hard to deal with while you’re in uniform. 70+ ministries, agencies, organizations and service providers were on site helping with: - Driver’s license conversions - Biometric IDs and passports - National Insurance - Housing - Employment - Academic degree recognition - Banking - Legal guidance - Military benefits - Aliyah services Soldiers could also learn about the resilience programming and emotional support resources from the Nefesh B'Nefesh-FIDF Lone Soldiers Program with mental health support for Lone Soldiers, reservists and soldiers returning to civilian life. Organized by the Nefesh B’Nefesh-FIDF Lone Soldiers Program and Merkaz Habodedim, with the Mofet Unit of the IDF Manpower Directorate and the Association for Israel's Soldiers, as part of the IDF’s annual Lone Soldier Appreciation Week. *The NBN–FIDF Lone Soldiers Program supports Olim who make Aliyah and are required to serve in the IDF, offering practical and community-based support before, during, and after their mandatory service* 📸 Sivan Shachor @FIDF @idfonline

Trying to hurt Israel with economic boycotts, simply means that Israel can't afford to help those in need. You can help though, by donating to @FIDF. Give hope to caring. Give to the Friends of the IDF.🥹

Last Thursday, more than 1,200 community members and friends from across the Pacific Southwest came together to celebrate Israel’s 78th Independence Day. We were proud to welcome members of the diplomatic corps, congressional representatives, elected officials, and distinguished community leaders. The evening was filled with celebration and pride, highlighted by a special performance from Israeli-Iranian singer @LirazCharhi, along with comedy and hosting by @standupdan. We’re grateful to our community partners and to everyone who joined us in marking this important occasion. @israeliamerican @FIDF @StandWithUs @IAJF_LA @templeofhearts 📷: Linda Kasian

Learned today that the $3.3 billion (out of $3.8b) in US military aid to Israel is spent in all fifty states and annually supports 1,000,000 US jobs across hundreds of congressional districts. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

Israel is commemorating Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s day of remembrance. Since Israel’s founding in 1948, over 5,000 Israel civilians were murdered and 25,648 IDF soldiers fell heroically during their service. May their memories be a blessing. 🕯️

The train to Auschwitz in 1942. The color footage reveals a stark contrast between the innocence of those aboard and the horrific fate that awaited them. Dressed in their best clothes, they moved toward their final destination, the gas chambers. Never again.💔

G-d bless the American and Israeli ground crews, supply cadres and combat air controllers. The mission has been relentless in its pace and behind every one of hundreds of pilots and thousands of missions is a world class team of professionals who make everything work seamlessly.

🇮🇱 Before entering Lebanon, Israeli soldiers gathered and sang together. The song they chose was “Ani Ma’amin” (“I Believe”) — a song about faith, resilience, and the quiet strength that carries people through dark moments. I Believe I believe In a complete faith that is not shaken Even in a period of darkness War like waves I believe In a hope that has never once vanished A child that has never once forgotten That exists within us There are things you see That blind the eyes To escape far away Beyond the seas There are dreams Far away like a home Without roofs to understand Like children I believe In a love that has never once stopped Even if once I felt Today I do not stop I believe That even on a day when I do not remember Every time the shadow of yesterday returns to me It was only our trial There are things you see That blind the eyes To escape far away Beyond the seas There are dreams Far away like a home Without roofs to understand Like children
