Maryland Chapter

The Maryland Chapter of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) was founded in the fall of 2008 and represents communities in Delaware, the District of Columbia (DC) and Virginia. Maryland FIDF had its Inaugural Event in December 2008 with the IDF Musical Ensemble making its Maryland debut to a sell-out crowd in Baltimore. In its first year, the Baltimore Chapter established a Board of Directors, Sabra and Young Leadership committees, and participated in its first FIDF Mission to Israel.

Maryland will be hosting FIDF’s first phone-a-thon on April 18th, 2010. We welcome back the IDF Musical Ensemble on May 2nd, 2010 and are having our 2nd Gala on October 28th, 2010. Our second Mission to Israel leaves November 4th, 2010.

Testimonials


"The safety and security of Israel is of paramount importance not only to the Jews of Israel but to the Jewish people everywhere. The soldiers of the IDF protect and defend the country and FIDF supports the soldiers of the IDF. When I learned of the many aspects of FIDF involvement with assistance to our soldiers –social, recreational, educational and familial – it became a “no-brainer” for me to become involved."

- William Z. Fox

"I joined FIDF because as a Jew there is nothing more important than the protection of Israel. I have the highest amount of respect for the Soldiers of the IDF and want to do all I can to make their life as comfortable as possible in a world of conflict. The FIDF allows me to make direct impact on soldier’s lives – without any red tape."

- Keith B. Scott – Maryland Young Leadership of the FIDF

"The physical security of the State of Israel should be the paramount concern of every Jew. If one cannot personally be a part of its defense, then it is incumbent upon one to find a meaningful way to participate. For me, that is by supporting the men and women of the IDF."

- Joshua M. Mauer
