NEW YORK – The Friends of the IDF hosted its annual gala fund-raiser in the main
ballroom of Manhattan’s Waldorf Astoria hotel on Tuesday night, bringing
together prominent New Yorkers, Israeli dignitaries and uniformed soldiers in an
event that raised over $27 million for IDF programs and services.
The
dinner and reception attracted over 1,400 people, who entered the gilded hotel
in black tie attire surrounded by photos of encumbered soldiers serving on the
front lines of combat.
