An IDF Soldier Between Gaza and Shabbat: Faith, Family, and Jewish Unity in a Time of War
Project Inspire
In this emotional talk, Steve Gar, a South African-born IDF soldier and father, shares what it’s like to leave his young family and head from the army base into Gaza. He describes the hidden gaps in army equipment, the danger of relying only on technology like Iron Dome, and the spiritual power of Jews worldwide davening for each other. Along the way he reflects on Trump, ceasefires, internal Israeli division, the threat from enemies within, and the project “Keep Shabbat for a Soldier,” illustrating how real protection comes from unity, prayer, and every Jew doing their part — whether on the front lines or in their own community.
