FIDF Helps Israel’s SoldiersSince Israel’s founding in 1948, the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces have risked, and many times sacrificed, their lives for the Jewish state. And, since the Friends of the IDF was founded in 1981, the organization has stood by and sup-ported Israel’s soldiers. As David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime min-ister, said, “In Israel, in order to be a realist, you must believe in miracles.” Israel’s survival is a miracle that can be primarily attributed to its sons and daughters in uniform.
