How are people coping in Israel?

We are excited to share with you a powerful and personal interview featuring Amit Barak, an Israeli reservist and community leader, who has been on active duty for over 300 days following the outbreak of war on October 7.

In this exclusive conversation with Shmuel, Amit provides a first-hand account of:

  • His immediate response to the October 7 attacks.
  • The challenges of balancing military service and family life.
  • The unique security threats facing communities in Judea and Samaria.
  • Insights into the broader implications of current conflicts in the Middle East.

This interview is a compelling look into the resilience, courage, and faith of those defending Israel. We encourage you to watch and be inspired by Amit’s story of service and sacrifice.

Thank you for your continued support,

Shmuel
