Friends of the IDF: An Update from Israel’s Front Lines

As the Hamas-Israel war continues to rage, Rabbi Steven Weil, CEO of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, joins Abigail Schneider to provide an update from the front lines, what could happen if Hezbollah enters the war, and how Israel sets the moral standard for war.

Rabbi Weil also shares the story of Sgt. Rose Lubin, a courageous American Lone Soldier who served in the IDF and defended Southern Israel from Hamas terrorists during the October 7th attacks. Last week, Sgt. Rose was brutally stabbed by a terrorist in Jerusalem and succumbed to her wounds. May her memory be a blessing.

The FIDF is the Israel Defense Force’s only designated partner in the US, and the IDF has requested their urgent support. During this war, the FIDF is tasked with meeting IDF soldiers’ emergency needs, including temporary field hospitals, intensive care ambulances, hygiene kits, and plasma kits. Donate to the FIDF’s crucial work here.

Psalms that Rabbi Weil recommends using to pray for Israel: Psalm 120, Psalm 121, Psalm 130.
