Our new National Director, Matt, recently spent time on the ground in Israel, meeting with our team and seeing firsthand the impact of the programs our supporters make possible.

One of his stops was Matanya Farm, where he met founder Sendi Ben Zaken and learned how the farm is helping combat veterans process trauma through nature, meaningful work, and community. The farm offers a different kind of healing: creating space for honest conversations, connection, and long-term support outside of a traditional clinical setting.

“Healing doesn’t look the same for everyone. Visiting Matanya Farm reinforced how important it is to create different pathways for support, places where people can slow down, talk openly about difficult experiences, and find a community that understands what they’ve been through.” – Matthew Levin

We’re proud to support programs that strengthen resilience in every form.

You can read the updates. You can watch the videos.

But nothing compares to seeing the impact on the ground.

This October, travel with Israel Friends for an exclusive look at the programs, communities, and people your support makes possible. Meet those rebuilding their lives, hear their stories firsthand, and witness the resilience shaping Israel’s future.

Because some things can’t be understood through a screen, they have to be experienced.

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah marks more than a milestone—it marks the beginning of a life of purpose.

With an Israel Friends Mitzvah Campaign, your celebration becomes an opportunity to make a real impact. Instead of only receiving gifts, invite friends and family to help provide life-saving support to the people of Israel, turning your simcha into meaningful action.

Celebrate your special day by honoring the values of tikkun olam—repairing the world—and creating a legacy of kindness that extends far beyond the celebration.

Every mitzvah can make a difference. đź’™

We mourn the loss of Sergeant William Shakin, z”l, a Lone Soldier from Great Neck, New York, who chose to move to Israel and serve in the 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade.

William was remembered by those who knew him as a kind and passionate individual who made the courageous decision to serve the Jewish people.

During his military service, he experienced the profound realities of combat, including the devastating loss of fellow soldiers, and carried that weight with him.

His story is a painful reminder that the wounds of war do not always end when the fighting does. The trauma carried by soldiers and veterans can be invisible, deeply personal, and incredibly heavy.

We honor William’s memory, his service, and the sacrifice he made. Our deepest condolences go to his family, friends, and all those who loved him.

May his memory be a blessing.

If you’re struggling, you are not alone.

Some experiences can’t be captured in a photo, they have to be lived.

On an Israel Friends Mission, you’ll meet the people behind the impact: the soldiers, survivors, care providers, and communities whose lives are being strengthened every day. You’ll visit the programs making a tangible difference– from delivering life-saving equipment to supporting those on the path to healing from trauma.

It’s an opportunity to better understand Israel today, connect with the people at the heart of our mission, and see firsthand how your support is making a real difference.

We’d love to have you join us on our next mission: israelfriends.us/missiontrip

The IDF announced two reserve soldiers fell during a combat mission in southern Lebanon on Wednesday.

Major (Res.) Harel Birenstock, 34, of Nokdim, and Sergeant Major (Res.) Tamir Vaknin, 33, of Eilat, were killed during an operation to search suspected militant sites in the Majdal Zun area.

According to the IDF, their unit entered a booby-trapped building, where an explosive device detonated, causing part of the structure to collapse. Additional troops rushed to rescue the soldiers trapped beneath the rubble. Four other soldiers were seriously wounded in the incident.

Major Birenstock is survived by his wife and four children, including a six-month-old baby.

We extend our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones, and pray they find strength.

May their memories be a blessing.

Today, we’re celebrating the kind of friendship that shows up.

For more than 1,000 days, our community has done exactly that. You’ve helped deliver life-saving equipment, expand access to mental health care, strengthen emergency response, and stand with the people of Israel through every challenge.

Friendship isn’t measured by words. It’s measured by showing up, taking action, and standing together when it matters most.

This National Friendship Day, thank you for being part of the Israel Friends family. Your support continues to make a real difference every single day. đź’™
