Atid: In 2021 we kicked off "Atid", our young leadership program, in seven cities around the globe – New York City, Westchester, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Toronto, and Johannesburg. Through Atid, which translates to "Future" in Hebrew, we've already engaged more than 180 of today’s young Jewish leaders. In 2022, we want to expand Atid to even more cities, such as Los Angeles and Mexico City, to connect more young Jews and supporters to our soldiers back home. We plan on bringing our Israel and diaspora communities together by sending soldiers to events abroad and inviting a special group of young professionals to visit us in our Brother's Home in Israel.
Holocaust Survivors: In 2021, we were honored to host a series of moving, online meetings between wounded soldiers in Israel and Holocaust survivors in New York. The deep connections that were forged are hard to describe. We are painfully aware that the number of survivors is dwindling, and are planning to expand this program in 2022 to include more survivors who would be willing to share their stories.
