'Operation Hug' brings families of lone soldiers together during Iron Swords War


Nefesh B’Nefesh, Friends of the IDF (FIDF) and Jewish National Fund-USA (JNF-USA) have joined forces to resume “Operation Hug,” an initiative that enables hundreds of families to reunite with their loved ones during this time of war in Israel, the organizations announced on Monday. “Operation Hug embodies the very soul of what Jewish National Fund-USA stands for — ensuring that every individual who defends our homeland feels the figurative embrace of a grateful people and, more importantly, the literal embrace of family,” Riegel said. In moments of challenge and triumph, nothing can substitute for a hug from a parent, and Operation Hug reminds these young heroes that they are never truly alone — not in Israel, and not in the hearts of those who love and support them around the world.”
