Stand with Soldiers. Experience Israel. Build Lifelong Connections.
Join young professionals from across the country for an unforgettable journey with Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF). These immersive missions offer exclusive access, meaningful connection, and a powerful opportunity to stand in solidarity with the brave men and women of the Israel Defense Forces.
Whether you join us in June or October, each mission delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience — bringing you face-to-face with the impact you help make and the people you help support.
Why Join a Young Leadership Mission?
Visit IDF bases and spend meaningful time with soldiers, hearing their stories and showing your support firsthand.
Engage in powerful briefings and discussions with high-ranking commanders, security experts, and leaders on the ground.
Visit communities impacted by October 7th to honor those who were lost, witness the devastation firsthand, and see the resilience of families and towns rebuilding their lives. Learn how soldiers are receiving critical rehabilitation and PTSD support as they navigate the lasting effects of service and war.
Travel alongside passionate young professionals from across the country and form bonds that last long after the mission ends.
When you travel on an FIDF Young Leadership Mission, you become part of a global community standing in solidarity with Israel’s soldiers. Your presence reminds them that they are not alone – that their friends across the ocean see them, support them, and stand with them. Every handshake, every conversation, and every shared moment strengthens the connection between young Jewish leaders and those who safeguard Israel each day.
Reflect. Celebrate. Inspire
Celebrate the State of Israel, a remarkable miracle and enduring legacy of survival and triumph. Reflect on the cost of Jewish resilience—a sacrifice that bears the weight of loss. Spend meaningful time with Israeli soldiers and officials, enjoying unprecedented access to their operations. Gain an understanding that will inspire future generations through stories of courage and hope.
