Let’s Talk About Israel with guest speaker Sam Fried 

Sam Fried, 28, from New York City, is a First Sergeant in the 890th Paratrooper Battalion. Sam served as a Lone Soldier in the Paratroopers from 2020 to 2022. After the barbaric attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023, Sam returned to Israel to rejoin his unit, serving as a Squadron Commander and sharpshooter in Gaza until February 2024.

Upon returning to the United States, Sam began his activist journey, raising over $17 million dollars for Jewish organizations, fighting on the ideological battlefield by speaking and debating across the country in an effort to broker peace, combat rising anti-semitism, and change the narrative through his three foundational pillars: 1) Empowering Jews and their allies, 2) Promoting dialogue for peace, and 3) Humanizing the IDF.
