Solidarity Events

Never before has the backing for the brave defenders of the Jewish Homeland been so palpable. An exceptional display of unity emerged following the horrific attacks of October 7, with thousands of FIDF supporters standing shoulder to shoulder with the brave heroes on the frontlines who continue to risk their lives to restore security in Israel and bring hostages home.

In the wake of the attacks and ongoing war, FIDF transformed its traditional annual dinners into gatherings of solidarity, where members of Jewish community can express their solidarity with IDF soldiers during their time of greatest need. Multiple events since January quickly sold out, with one hundred percent of proceeds allocated to the critical humanitarian needs of IDF soldiers. To date, over $73 million has been transferred to the IDF since the war began to fulfill their most pressing requests.

Event speakers have included Israel’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Gilad Erdan; Cpl. Ori Megidish, who was held hostage by Hamas in Gaza and rescued by IDF soldiers more than two months ago; as well as soldiers from Sayeret Matkal, one of the IDF’s most elite special forces units.

We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to one of the many events scheduled throughout the remainder of the year. For more information about specific dates and markets, please reach out to your local chapter director.
