On Sunday, October 6th at 12:00 noon our Federation will co-sponsor a virtual event on zoom with the Federation of Northwest Indiana featuring Noam, a soldier in an elite IDF commando unit. The title of his talk is “From Horror to Hope: An IDF Commando's Journey”. In his talk Noam will share his story of saving lives at Kibbutz Be'eri to the joy of accompanying freed hostages back to Israel. Please see the ads as you will need to register to receive the zoom link to the event.

Noam is a BA student in Law at Tel Aviv University. Previously, he served as a Captain in a Commando Unit in the IDF. On October 7th, even before receiving the official call-up order from the army, Noam drove to Kibbutz Be'eri near the Gaza border to help rescue civilians. He then went on to serve for six months with his reserve unit in combat operations in Gaza.

Our thanks and appreciation to former Shlicha Chen Nissan and Abi Miller, a friend of our community, for helping to facilitate his talk.
