Israel's brave soldiers are serving on checkpoints, at army bases and on Israel's borders. Meanwhile we sit at home, sometimes not realizing that these heroes stopped near to 1,000 suicide bombers during the year 2005 alone.

Standing Together is a non-profit organization that started by sending pizzas to soldiers guarding the checkpoints. Seeing the smile on the soldier's faces helped the volunteers of Standing Together realize the importance of keeping our soldiers happy. Standing Together then began to cater to the different needs of soldiers, sending drinks, food, clothes, undergarments, and more to our soldiers in the field. Every Independence Day Standing Together arranges barbecues for over 1,500 soldiers who are on duty instead of celebrating with their families. The Friends of IDF in Israel ("FIDF") are the organizations cosponsors, helping Standing Together change the lives of some of our soldiers. This is only the beginning.

This summer of 2006 has left Israel hurt and vulnerable. Our soldiers are happy to be home, but many have a long way to recover from this war. Standing Together is currently finding ways to try and make their days easier for them while they fight their battle of recuperation. These projects include funding mini-fridges and microwaves for hospital rooms, and presenting each wounded soldier with a personalized bathrobe. But they need a lot more. Future projects are now being planned, and you can help. You can make that difference and help us reach many more soldiers, and by doing so make sure that they know that Jews throughout the world support them. By Standing Together we can make a difference, and you will Stand Together with us.
