Dear Family, Firstly, I want to wish you all a Happy Sukkot from Israel. Sukkot is about rejoicing with family and friends and giving thanks that though life is temporary, we feel protected and safe. May it be so for Israel, the Jewish people, and the world! Two days ago, the leader of our recent …
Dearest Families, I am writing this to each of you at this time of Rosh HaShana with such a feeling of gratitude. You don’t know how connected and appreciative we are of each of you in the Diaspora. Please know that you are with us here in Israel always! Our theme this year at BFL has been …
Dear Families, What is unique about these photos? It’s actually a trick question because at BFL there is nothing unique about these photos. If you look at our members in the photos, you will see religious, secular, left, right, and everything in between. They are photos of our amazing spouse’s project as well as our couple’s …
Dear Friends, I hope you are enjoying your summer. We all know about the debate here in Israel, and I will just share one thing.

Dear families, I’ve started this Biweekly update three times now and I keep starting over. Why? I’m not sure how actually communicate the incredible things happening this week or our soldiers who have lost their limbs. Several years ago we established a relationship with Dr. Jason Souza, a world renowned surgeon from Walter Reed Hospital who now …
Dear Families, Most people don’t like gala fundraising dinners, so we don’t do them. However, just over a week ago, Tuesday, we had one of the most epic moments in BFL’s history. Over 500 people came together at Tribeca Rooftop in NYC to support the soldiers, BFL style. And though it looked like a fundraiser at …
Dear Friends, As you know, much of Southern and Central Israel has been under threat from Islamic Jihad, with over 800 rockets fired at our apartments and homes over the past three days.
