Adopt an IDF Platoon
Many who have traveled to Israel with the Federation have met Tal Beit-Yosef, our guide and friend for over 12 years now. Tal was also in Chattanooga about 3 ½ years ago speaking to various groups including the Federation’s annual meeting. Tal’s oldest son, Yuval, is now in the IDF, completing his basic training as a paratrooper.
His platoon of 55 soldiers graduates in mid-October and we are “adopting” this platoon. Think of this as adopting a lone soldier in Israel. We are purchasing special jackets/sweatshirts with the platoon name and symbol on them – a very special and personal gift from our community.
Thank you in advance for considering a donation at any level. Throughout the year(s), we will keep everyone updated and engaged with Yuval’s platoon – and we hope to visit them on our May 2019 Israel Mission.
