Lodges Present $200,000 Check to IDF Widows & Orphans Fund
The Hebrew Order of David Foundation, comprised of the 23 HOD Lodges worldwide, presented a check for $200,000 to the IDF Widows & Orphans Fund, Sunday, Nov. 3, during the installation ceremonies for Atlanta’s four Lodges. The check represents the latest results in an ongoing campaign to fund an endowment for educations for widows and orphans of fallen servicemen of the IDF, police officers, and other security personnel.
Since Oct 7, 2023, the number of widows and children who have lost one or both parents has increased by more than 750. Among IDFWO’s numerous programs and support initiatives, annual scholarships are a crucial component to foster the academic and personal growth of widows and adult orphans within the organization.
HOD leaders in North America began working with a network of benefactors this past summer to set up a program to match HOD donations to IDFWO dollar for dollar. In the process, they established the HOD Foundation to better manage donations for this and other causes.
You can donate now to the Hebrew Order of David International Endowment Fund, administered by the IDF Widows and Orphans Organization in Israel.
