We are honored to invite you to an inspiring evening with four remarkable IDF soldiers who have bravely served and defended Israel during some of the most challenging times. Meet the Speakers: Ariella Rubek, 21, from Efrat, served as a lookout in Kisufim and was stationed there during the tragic events of October 7th. Eitan Berman, 22, from Kfar Adumim, served in the elite Egoz Unit. He was part of the team that rescued the Kisufim outpost and fought in Gaza for nearly seven months, finishing his service four months ago. Nadav Levy, 22, from Kfar Adumim, enlisted in Shayetet 13 and later joined the Duvdevan Unit. He fought in Kfar Aza on October 7th and subsequently entered Gaza for several months. Uri, 25, a U.S.-Israeli citizen, participated in two hostage rescue operations, including the rescues of Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.

IAC statement on Iran's attack against Israel:

The October 7 pogrom in Israel was the worst massacre of Jews since the days of the Holocaust, yet rather than rally to the victim’s side with empathy and compassion, the international community has, confoundingly, exploded with Jew-hatred. ???????????? ??????????????????: ?? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????? ???????????? ???????????? is, therefore, a profound and timely documentary that delves deeply into the roots of antisemitism and provides sobering revelations about the world’s oldest hatred. Where does such unbridled hatred come from, and can it be harnessed into a force for good? Tragic Awakening answers these and so many other questions with unvarnished candor. #EndAntisemitism #NeverAgain #StandWithIsrael #FightHate #JewishHistory #EndHate #Judaism #Documentary #ThisDayInHistory

Last week, Tal Shuster, Co-Chair of the IAC National Board, proudly represented IAC leadership at a crucial strategic meeting in New York.
