The Modern Day Maccabees of the IDF

A Pre-Thanksgiving Lecture

What the Soldiers of the IDF Teach Us About Life, Faith, Gratitude and Courage

Inspiring stories of today’s “Modern-Day Maccabees” — the brave IDF soldiers who have risked and given everything for Am Yisrael. Through their final letters, their heroism, and the resilience of their families, we discover profound lessons about living with faith, meaning, gratitude and unwavering Jewish pride. This is not just a tribute — it’s a stirring call to stand strong, to act boldly, and to live joyfully — no matter the pain, because — Am Yisroel Chai!
