Unite with FIDF National Young Leadership

Embrace your love for Israel and the IDF

We are FIDF National Young Leadership

FIDF’s National Young Leadership is a proud network of emerging leaders, change-makers, and social butterflies, who aspire to be part of securing a bright future for Jews worldwide. 

 

We share a love for Israel – home of the Jewish people, thriving culture, equality, humanitarianism, and innovation – and make our lasting impact through our endless gratitude for the young men and women of the IDF who selflessly protect it.

Be Courageous.

FIDF National Young Leadership takes inspiration from Israel Defense Forces soldiers, many of whom are our contemporaries in age, to stand with them and foster worldwide support. Together we provide them with life-changing educational, welfare and wellbeing opportunities.

Be Bold.

FIDF National Young Leadership events and opportunities to make an impact are unparalleled. Thousands of young leaders gather regularly for blow-out parties and intimate gatherings alike.

Member Spotlight

My involvement with FIDF Young Leadership provides me with a passionate community of friends who all love Israel. It is an honor to support Lone Soldiers, like my brother, during and after their military service. Young Leadership provides a clear path to stand with IDF soldiers from afar.

Supporting FIDF means making sure that those who are protecting Israel are taken care of physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We cannot take them for granted and FIDF gives me the opportunity to show my gratitude and give back. YL also provides me the opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals who support Israel here in NYC. It’s also a community where I met my husband and many great friends!
