About Tzahal Shalom of Northern Westchester

For ten days every year, Tzahal Shalom of Northern Westchester welcomes a delegation of active duty combat officers from the Israeli Defense Forces. Their mission is to connect with our community, to bring a bit of Israel into our homes, and to meet with seniors, adults, college students, teens and children. These IDF officers come from different military branches and are chosen for their bravery, their stories, and their ability to communicate in English. While in Northern Westchester, the soldiers get a reprieve from active combat duty and a chance to see New York. Most importantly, they begin to understand the support they have from our community and return to Israel with a renewed spirit and great pride! In return, we get the gift of their presence and build relationships with these special individuals. While in our community, the soldiers attend various synagogue and community events as well as sightseeing in New York. They meet over 1200 people of all ages during their stay with us.
