Straight Facts

In this edition of Straight Facts, we hear the heartbreaking tales from Gaza’s citizens, Col. Vach recounts rescue efforts in Surfside, examine propaganda and more.

It was A-MAZING to see so many WIZO members at the Meeting of Representatives (MoR) in Tel Aviv last month. It was such a great opportunity after several years of being apart to welcome them back to Israel with massive hugs.

We were immensely privileged to hear Col. Golan Vach, Commander of Israel’s National Rescue Services recount some of the missions the IDF have undertaken. As I write this, Operation Olive Branch is underway to help with rescue and recovery after the devastating earthquake in Turkey. We wish them G-d speed.
