Why such a small audience to honor our fallen IDF soldiers?

Dear Editor:

First, I want to give my heartfelt appreciation to the organizers of the Yom HaZikaron Ceremony at the Jewish Community Center on April 21. They presented a most meaningful commemoration. The musicians and singers were outstanding!

I want to thank those who shared the memory of loved ones. They did this with great personal pain. On film an American father talked about his fallen IDF son.

The Yom Hazikaron program was not well attended for a community our size. Where was the Central Florida Jewish Community? 

The Israel Defense Force by protecting Israel, protects all Jews!

I sincerely hope and urge you to be present when we honor Israel’s fallen soldiers and victims of terror next year.

It was the right place for me to be that evening.
