Jerusalem, Israel - Nov. 29, 2024 - Thursday evening, the FIDF - Nefesh B'Nefesh Lone Soldiers Program in partnership with The Michael Levin Base hosted over 300 Lone Soldiers and Bnot Sherut volunteers at the NBN Aliyah Campus for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
The strength of achdut could be felt as the young men and women who voluntarily came from around the globe to serve in Israel shared in the celebration. Guests enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving feast with turkey and side dishes, salads, and color-themed donuts for dessert. The festive decor with a performance by the Solomon Brothers set the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening.
Often Thanksgiving is a time when being away from home can be difficult. But this special gathering brought comfort, connection, and a sense of home to those serving far from their families. It was an evening to reflect, celebrate, and be thankful for what we have after more than a year at war.
