"It was incumbent upon me to make it my prerogative to defend Israel, the Jewish people, and humanity itself in every single way I could"
Meet Sam Fried, our Yom Kippur Speaker
Join us on Yom Kippur as Sam will share his experience in the physical as well as in the ideological battlefields, the miracles of his first- hand experiences in Gaza, and doubling down on our Jewish identity in today’s world.
Sam served in the IDF and on October 7th, he knew he had to take action to protect Jews and eradicate the inhumanity that Hamas brought to the world. Sam is a First-Sergeant Paratrooper reservist in the IDF who recently returned from fighting in Gaza. He served as a commander of a squadron and as a sharpshooter. Since returning home, Sam has been committed to Israel advocacy, speaking to Jewish and non-Jewish communities around the country.
