ew York, NY (October 27, 2021) Friends of Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) conducted its first ever “FIDF LIVE” episode in a Community Town Hall setting. For the 14th FIDF LIVE episode, viewer questions submitted via social media were answered directly by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officers from the ground, sea and air forces as well as the Home Front Command. Captain Erez, IDF Super Dvora Patrol Boat Commander, 916th Squadron; Lt. Netti, IDF Iron Dome battery commander; and 2nd Lt. Avigail, IDF Search and Rescue company commander were among the esteemed IDF officers fielding and answering questions. The FIDF LIVE platform, hosted by American stand-up comedian and author, Joel Chasnoff, is a high-level production broadcast experience that provides an alternative to in-person experiences and brings awareness of FIDF’s cause and activities to a broader audience. By introducing content through this platform, the FIDF is keeping the community’s connection with Israel alive and thriving. FIDF has always been a bridge between Americans and Israelis, and this

virtual experience continues that tradition in a novel way, serving as the place for everyone who loves Israel and wants to stay connected. To watch last night’s “FIDF LIVE” episode, please visit www.fidf.org/ fidflive/episode-14. About Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF): FIDF was established in 1981 by a group of Holocaust survivors as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with the mission of offering educational, cultural, recreational, and social programs and facilities that provide hope, purpose, and life-changing support for the soldiers who protect Israel and Jews worldwide.
