FIDF MI Treasurer Rick Bloom Hosts Purim Party for IDF Soldier

Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) Michigan Chapter Treasurer Rick Bloom hosted a party for 350 Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers at the Reim base on the Gaza Border to celebrate Purim

“I am deeply thankful for all that the IDF soldiers do to protect Israel and the Jewish people throughout the world,” said Rick Bloom. “Because of them, our homeland will continue to be strong and proud, and a light unto the nations. We salute these brave heroes for their dedicated service.”

Meanwhile, FIDF delivered Mishloach Manot to thousands of IDF soldiers for Purim last week. Every year, FIDF distributes Mishloach Manot to soldiers from various brigades and battalions adopted by the organization.

FIDF’s unique Adopt-A-Unit Program allows supporters to go beyond their donations and get more involved by providing financial assistance to soldiers in need, caring for Lone Soldiers with no immediate family in Israel, and funding rest and recuperation breaks for adopted combat units. Program supporters can visit the soldiers in their adopted units on IDF bases and communicate with unit commanders.
