| Shalom friends,
Jewish Americans, like most diaspora Jews, feel deeply connected and committed to Israel, our one and only Jewish State.
From American pilots helped in the War of Independence in 1948 to lone soldiers who continue to join their brethren in Israel and serve in the Israeli Defense Forces.
