As Passover approaches, we are reminded of a timeless truth:
freedom is never guaranteed — it is protected.
This season, as we reflect on the journey from darkness to light, from danger to deliverance, Israel’s soldiers are once again standing on the front lines to defend that freedom — for their families, their communities, and the Jewish people around the world.
As the first quarter of 2026 comes to a close, we also pause to reflect on what your support has made possible.
Together, we have stood with soldiers, wounded warriors, families, volunteers, and communities — through winter conditions, recovery journeys, and ongoing uncertainty.
Passover Update From Elite IDF ‘Hod’ Unit
As Passover approaches, we received an urgent message from the elite IDF Hod Unit, preparing to enter Lebanon for high-risk operations against Hezbollah.
These soldiers lead from the front — navigating terrain, engaging first, and carrying the weight of their brigade’s missions.
Right now, they are facing a serious challenge:
Low-quality backpacks are limiting their ability to carry essential gear — including ammunition, medical supplies, and food.
These packs are not only failing — they are causing physical strain and reducing what soldiers can bring into the field at the most critical moments.
As they prepare to protect the Jewish state this Passover, they’ve made a simple request:
Stand with us. Help equip us. Help us do our job safely.
Your support will directly strengthen their mission — and help protect the lives of those on the front lines.
The Reality on the Ground in Israel
Earlier this week, an Iranian ballistic missile struck Tel Aviv, causing significant damage to residential homes and leaving several people injured.
For civilians, this is the daily reality — sirens, seconds to respond, and uncertainty about what comes next.
For Israel’s soldiers, it means heightened alert, rapid response, and continued deployment across multiple fronts.
The conflict is no longer distant or contained — it is active, evolving, and impacting both the front lines and the home front at the same time.
Moments like these remind us why readiness matters — why proper equipment, support, and morale are essential — and why standing together is not optional, but necessary.
Looking Ahead
The needs continue, and so does our commitment.
As we move into this season of reflection and renewal, we remain focused on one mission:
supporting those who protect Israel — and the families who stand behind them.
Your support sustains this work.
With gratitude,
