Making friends

By Elad Moisseiev, M.D., Captain, “Egoz” unit, Israel

My tour with the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces and the ensemble is over, and I am back home, in Israel and to my unit.
It has been a long tour, filled with many experiences, seeing new places and meeting very interesting people. Representing my unit, the IDF and Israel abroad made me feel very proud, and I am grateful I was selected to participate in this mission, and be part of the FIDF’s effort to raise awareness to the situation in Israel and raise donations which will serve to improve the conditions and the lives of needy soldiers.
I would like to express my gratitude to you all — FIDF members, leaders of Jewish communities, hosting families who had me over, and good people I had the fortune to meet on my tour – for all your help, attention, involvement and commitment, and also for making this a special experience for me.
