TFJ Season 4 Episode 3 The Transformational IDF – An Interview with Rabbi Steven Weil (CEO of the FIDF)

One’s first association of the IDF is that of a mighty army that secures Israel’s borders and simultaneously prevents an Iranian hegemonic caliphate in the Middle East. But the IDF is very much also the platform and the wherewithal to enable Israelis – of every background – to live the Israeli dream.

The IDF presents an incredible educational opportunity for those who have been deprived of a high school education, or received weak schooling. The first priority for the scholarships are for minorities: Arabs, Druze or Christians. But even those who do not participate in the IDFs continuing education programs, are very much involved in a broader educational project that is the essence of the IDF. During their years of service, young men and women will transform from selfish takers absorbed with their phones, into mature, responsible adults who blossom into givers that are committed to each other for life.

The IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) has spread its tentacles all over the earth. Their greatest resource is the Hezbollah in Lebanon who probably possess 2000 precision guided missiles. These missiles have the capability of taking out Israel’s most valuable assets within 14 inches of accuracy.

Because of the existential threat that Hezbollah poses, when Israel called up its reservists after the October 7^th attack, two thirds of them were sent to the North where 100,000 civilians have been evacuated to be out of direct Hezbollah range. But the danger that Hezbollah poses is not just to Israel. Iran seeks a hegemonic Shia califate that will threaten the world, and all that stands in their way is the State of Israel.
