Dear Soldier,

The world is a very dangerous place especially for you as a soldier. We are grateful for all that you do in protecting our homeland for all Jews. It is because of you that we can always rely on Israel to be there for us.

Thank you for making this ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you so much for your kind words of support.

As a lone soldier from overseas I can tell you that the support from Jews around the world like yourself means so much to me and to all the soldiers in Israel fighting to defend our amazing land. Thank you and I hope you will all join us here soon to realize our dream of building the בית המקדש and settling the whole land!

Much love from an IDF soldier 🫡

I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Even though I live far away and am not Jewish, I stand with you in solidarity—especially during this difficult time.

I wish you strength, courage, and God's protection. May peace come soon, and may you and your families live in safety. No matter what happens, you are not alone. Many people around the world are thinking of you and hoping with you for better days ahead.

I am wiring from Australia to say thank you for your faithful service in giving so much of yourself to keep the western world and the values we all share safe and going forward. Evil only flourishes because good men keep silent is a quote my father imbedded in us. Thank you for being one of the good men or women who stand up for what is right and to do away with the evil that the heart of theses evil people wish to perpetrate. You are in our thoughts and prayers always and wish to thank you. I used to pray for one particular soldier but he was unfortunately killed in action. I know he is now with God in heaven

Dear IDF Soldier,

First off, thank you! Thank you for being there (even when you're hurting), for standing strong (even when you don't feel strong), for being brave (even when you don't feel brave), and for protecting Eretz Yisrael.

My children and I live in New Zealand - have you ever been? We are a small country in the South Pacific with beautiful mountains and beaches and lots of sheep and cows. It is a peaceful place, in the middle of nowhere, and I wish I could package some of that peace and deliver it to you. There is anti-Semitism here - we are part of the British commonwealth - and my kids have to put up with outrageously biased reporting and school mates who don't understand the conflict.

But we are very very proud to be Jewish and very very very proud of you and your comrades who protect Israel at times like this. We wish we could do more to let you know how much we support you and pray for you to come home safe and resume your normal life.

What do you do when you are not serving? Are you a musician? Or an IT person? Or maybe you are a full time member of the military?

I grew up in the US and only moved to NZ when I was an adult. Before I emigrated, I served in the US Air Force Reserve (medical corps) and my brother is currently in the US Navy Reserve, so I understand a little what it's like for you. But only a little.
Where do you live? I have visited Israel once, many many years ago. My children (who are 16, 14, and 11 year old twins) have not yet been. Here in NZ, we live in Auckland.

It is the biggest city, but we live in a rural neighborhood, with a huge nature preserve along one side of our property.  We have two very big fluffy dogs - have you ever heard of Leonbergers? We have a male and female, and they are total cuddle bugs. Unfortunately, they think they are about the size of a chihuahua and try to curl up in your lap, but when the dog weighs 50+kg, it's a bit of a challenge!!! Do you have any pets?

We are praying for you!

I've felt pushed out of arts communities in recent years and it feels lonely, but knowing that so many of you are fighting for the protection of the Jewish state gives me hope that the future will be better.

I pray for you and may Hashem grant you the strength to continue. Shalom!

hi, I am jewish, born in Latvia and currently residing in Germany. Not sure whom this litter will reach, but I would wish to thank every Israeli soldier for fighting on the behalf and for the safety of Israel and the jewish people.

I admire your courage to do what is needed to protect the Israeli citizens and I pray for your safety and success in this mission. I want you to know that even we are not physically there with you, we think of you, we thank you and we pray for you.

I wished I could turn back time and be 19 again and join the IDF and be physically next to you and fight by your side, but back then, it didn't occurred to me that a time like this would come.

I came to Israel at the end of February, a week before the war with Iran started and missiles were flying through the sky. Even if there was an option to go back, I could not imagine a better place to be during this time, as here in my country, with my people.

And even I don't know you and we never met, I love you and I will be forever grateful for your service to our people and our country. Shalom.

Please know that even though we don't know each other, we are Klal Yisrael, and I pray for you, your comrades, everyone in Israel and Jews around the world for safety and better times ahead. Don't forget to eat well, stay hydrated and to always look out for your friends and neighbors. I'm so proud of you. One more thing.

Dear Chayal, thanks to this wonderful organisation Standing Together, we can express our profound appreciation to you wonderful and so valuable chayilim and chayelot on the ground. You do the most important work on earth: defending Israel.

Our hope, our home, our destination. I do not know in which daily situation you are - physically and/or emotionally stressed... Receive my sincere hugs and deep appreciation and honouring of you and your colleagues! I daily pray for all soldiers for comfort, in body and soul. - I had a hard year with accident and diseases, nearly one year in bed, so praying and learning to think positive sometimes is the only option.

I don´t know how it works, but it does! May it also work for you! Whether you believe and pray in more classical way or via good vibes and gratitude mentality... And I made it, step-by-step! May you also get over the hard moments. Never give up!

Good times will come!!! May you feel shielded if you are in danger moments.- On a personal note, I come to Am Israel from the outside, being a German-Dutch having lived even in Mexico, but only Israel (and Jewish wisdom and deepness) feel deep. A real sense in life - which you defend daily! Maybe you heard of former United Kingdom-Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (my inspiration). He interpreted the old texts with modern Science, Psychology, Politology, Sociology...

Convincing for me as a scientist. Europe is gradually turning/turnt down and dangerous, so it is only a matter of time until we will also need to make aliyah. To a country for which you dedicate your time and maybe risk your life and health. For all of us and for freedom. My deepest thanks!!!

Elisabeth from Germany.

I pray that you remain steadfast in faith and HaShem guides and keeps you safe through this war.

Hey, I wanted to write to you because I care and because I didn’t want silence to take the place of connection. I may not understand what you’ve been through, but I do know that what you experienced mattered, and that it can still echo long after the events themselves are over. You don’t owe anyone strength, explanations. If some days are heavy, that doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re human. And if some days are quiet, that’s okay too. Please know that you’re not alone, even when it feels that way. I’m here to listen if you ever want to talk or simply to remind you that you matter more than your worst moments. Thank you for everything you’ve given, and for continuing to show up in a world that hasn’t always been gentle with you.

With love, respect and care

I can't stop thinking of you

and all that you do

for the Jewish people

and we're all behind you

G-d is with you

every step of the way

because He is the One orchestrating

everything that happens

is because He wills it to be

we don't know why

and we won't ever know

but it's not our job to understand it

it's our job to believe

because that's what it means

to have faith.

We love you

and we're with you

כאיש אחד בלב אחד

we are like one man

with one heart

that beats together

we are the nation of Israel

and we will forever endure

because G-d promised

we will never be destroyed

everything you do

matters and helps

and without it

we would be lacking

Thank you

two words cannot express it enough

but it'll have to do

THANK YOU

We are experiencing seriously high levels of Antisemitism, but it’s nothing compared to you and you put your life on the line for all Jews. Without you and the IDF there would be no Israel. On Tuesday whilst I’m here I’m going to visit soldiers at the Tel Hashomer rehabilitation centre and see what I can do to help them in their recovery.

Dear Chayal,

Whatever your job is in this war you are essential, and people like me are 🤬 proud of you. I still kick myself for joining the US military instead of making Aliyah and doing service. Stay low, and keep your head on a swivel. Remember, complacency kills. Now give them hell.

Very Respectfully,

I am so grateful for all that you do. Thank you for standing firm against the great darkness of our time. You are maligned and misunderstood by the very people who should be thanking you. I pray for you and all of Israel and all my Jewish brothers and sisters everywhere in the world. May the mighty angels guard and protect you. I have a deep love for the Warrior Maiden, Mary the Jewish girl who became the mother of my Lord. I pray that Mary will throw her mantle of protection over you. Make you find success in the work of your hands. You are constantly in my prayers. May you be blessed in all you do!

Dear Chayal/Chayalet,

I think about you and pray for you every day. You are the light of the West and I know you are fighting with courage and determination to defend your beautiful country, your family and friends. Please know that you are not alone and that my love as a father goes out to you across the oceans. I pray for your safety and success every day and am so grateful for your sacrifice. I am not Jewish, but am Christian and the prophet Isaiah once wrote that 'they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint' (Isaiah 39:31). And so I wish you strength, courage and eagles' wings.

Bring them all home.

Thank you my friend, with all my heart,

Stephen

Dear honourable IDF soldier,

Shalom and warm greetings from Scotland, UK. I am a volunteer for 'Glasgow Friends of Israel', we are a public street group who meet every Saturday in Glasgow city centre in Scotland to try to educate people with the facts about Israel.

I can tell you that you have great support here especially from Jews and Christians who understand the very severe situation Israel and the Jewish people have endured since October 7 and the constant danger and many challenges you have faced since.

We feel your pain and daily struggles, we think of you all, care about you, pray for you, speak on your behalf, give financially and grieve with you for your noble comrades who fell in battle, they will be remembered and cherished forever and are blessed and happy in Heaven. You are all valiant warriors and the very best sons and daughters of Israel.

Please take the best care of yourself, hold fast to your faith and be a light and encouragement to those around you. I send my respect, very best wishes and hopes for you, Fiona M

Dear Chayal/Chayelet,
My name is Sarah and I am 16 years old. I don’t live in Israel, (I live in Detroit, Michigan, but I have relatives in Israel) so you and I probably never met before. But I know that you are part of a group of brave and courageous soldiers who are giving up so much in order to protect our brothers and sisters. I know that you have sacrificed so much so that we can all be safe. I don’t see the things that you see everyday. I can’t comprehend how you probably feel. But please know that I Doven for you every day.

I Doven for your safety.

I Doven that you will return home to your family really soon.

And I Doven that you should know how much we appreciate everything you are doing.

I hope you know that every Jew around the world has not forgotten and will never forget about you. From the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep, we think about OUR SOLDIERS. Because you are our brothers and sisters.
Sincerely, Sarah E from Detroit

שלום חייל/ת יקר/ה!
אני לא נמצאת בישראל (לצערי), אני עובדת כאן בתור מדריכה לילדים באמריקה, כדי ללמד אותם קצת יותר על יהדות.

היום חשבתי על כמה אני אסירת תודה שאת/ה מגן/ה עליי ועליהם, ושומר/ת על הארץ שלנו כדי שנוכל לחזור אליה.

את/ה הסיבה שאנחנו תמיד יכולים לחזור הביתה. את/ה זה/זו שמוודא/ת שהדור הבא, דור הגאולה, יהיה בטוח בארץ הקדושה שלנו.

תודה רבה לך שאת/ה נלחמ/ת בשבילי, ובשביל הילדים שאני דואגת להם.

אני אוהבת אותך כל כך, אח/ות יקר/ה, ואני מקווה להצטרף אליך כבר עכשיו בארץ ישראל עם בוא הגאולה.

אולי את/ה לא תמיד מרגיש/ה כמה הדברים שאת/ה עושה הם גדולים, ואולי לפעמים זה מרגיש חסר משמעות או קשה – אבל אני מבטיחה לך שאת/ה עושה עבודה קדושה, אלוקית, והמאבק שלך יציל אותנו.

עם ישראל חי!

Under siege from its rebirth, surrounded by determined enemies, Israel navigates the paradox of being in a state of constant war while maintaining an ethos of ethics, peace and happiness at home. in the cauldron where Israel lives, Israelis push and pull, curse and pray, argue and fight, as they struggle unknowingly towards the birth of a new identity fueled by hope.

We need a man, a woman who will stand tall and say: “ we live in a bad neighbourhood. This will not change. We need to be strong, to be prepared, to be of one mind, of one heart, of one dream. We share rights, responsibilities, love and fate. All of us. Without exceptions. Shoulder to shoulder. We have built a home on sands and rocks. We have made the desert bloom. There is room neither for dissent nor for doubt. We are building our future, and that of our children. We have a purpose, a destiny. Together. With the countries around us, if possible. Beyond them, if we must. Being a light unto the nations takes time.”

The leader Israel merits will come from your ranks, you the soldiers who love this land and her people, who gave so much and are ready to give yet more.

You give me hope. I so wish you well. Thank you

I don't have words to express the gratitude I feel for what you are doing. I am so proud of all of you giving your life to keep us safe. I live in Canada now, but I did live in Israel for 17 years, and it is my home, and you are like my children, and I love each one of you and am so proud of you.

Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I can do anything to help from far away, please let me know I am always available to help ( I knit many, many hats for soldiers, I hope you got one).

Please take care of yourself and of each other and come back safe together with the hostages, and let this war end soon.
I send you all my love and best wishes. Miriam

Dear Chayal or Chayelet,
I want to say thank you for serving and pray that soon you will be with your family and friends again. I live in Haifa for the past 27 years after making Aliya.

Some days I think to myself why and then remember my 2 children and 5 grandchildren. For all of us it isn't so easy at the moment, but I wouldn't live anywhere else! I try my best to volunteer helping families struggling while their husbands are away and trying to help children frightened by the sirens. (my 7-year-old grandson one of them).

Since I know many people in the states, I try to spread the word of what soldiers need and get contributions. I know I live in a country that now is hurting and confused, but we will hopefully soon get out of this mess and rebuild an even stronger and better Israel.

Thank you again. Debbie V.
