In recent months, Israel has faced one of its most painful and prolonged crises in modern memory. War, trauma, and loss have touched every corner of the country. And while most of the world moved on, you did something remarkable.
You stepped up.
Because of your support, dozens of Israel’s lone soldiers—young heroes who leave everything behind to serve in the IDF—didn’t come back from the battlefield to cold silence. They came home to Shabbat.
They came home to dignity.
These brave soldiers move to Israel from every corner of the world, often leaving behind family, friends, and every comfort they’ve ever known. They do it not for recognition, but out of love—for Israel, for the Jewish people, for a higher purpose.
But when they return from grueling weeks on base, many come back to empty apartments. No hot meals. No hugs. No family waiting at the door.
That’s where you made a life-changing difference.
With your help, every Thursday and Friday, a woman named Yehudis Schamroth—lovingly known as “The Mother of the Soldiers”—fills her car with Shabbat groceries, toiletries, and essentials for more than 40 lone soldiers across four homes.
She doesn’t buy in bulk or drop off generic supplies. She shops for each soldier individually—challah, cereal, chocolate spread, fresh fruit, Ben & Jerry’s, toothpaste, eggs—whatever will bring them comfort and remind them that they matter.
And thanks to you, she never has to show up empty-handed.
Your generosity didn’t just fill refrigerators—it filled hearts. It told these young defenders of Israel that someone sees them, someone values them, and someone is thinking about them with love.
In a time when these soldiers carry the weight of the entire nation on their shoulders, you helped ease that burden—even just a little.
Thank you for standing with them. Thank you for caring not just about Israel’s defense, but about the defenders themselves.
