FIDF 2025 Maryland Gala
2025-10-20
Honoring the Soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces

Join us for a powerful evening honoring the courageous soldiers of the IDF. This memorable night will feature a special live performance by Matisyahu, whose message of unity and resilience will elevate our tribute to Israel’s heroes.

Known for blending reggae, hip hop, and Jewish spirit, Matisyahu has brought hope to soldiers and communities alike—even singing to our soldiers throughout the war.

This experience is generously underwritten by a dedicated supporter.
