Supporting IDF

Young Detroit leader
follows in his parents'
footsteps.

F

or Daniel Kaufman of West
Bloomfield, supporting the
Friends of the IDF (FIDF) is
personal. Daniel follows in the footsteps
of his father, Alon Kaufman, chairman
of the FIDF Michigan Region, and his
mother, Shari Kaufman, vice president of
the Michigan Region, in supporting the
Israel Defense Forces soldiers by attend-
ing the recent FIDF National Gala in
New York.
Also in attendance at the event
were FIDF Michigan Chapter Young
Leadership members Aaron Baum,
Jonathan Kaufman, Alex Ferber, Jake
Atchoo, James Katz and Daniel Capece.
"The FIDF event is one that every year
I look forward to attending. Being part
of such a powerful group of people that
have so much love and care for the State
of Israel and its soldiers is truly inspir-
ing:' said Daniel Kaufman.
"Being that half my family is in Israel
and I have family members currently
in the IDF, I have a personal connection
and know how important our support
for them is. I look forward to continu-

ing my role as a young leader within
the Michigan community and always
continuing to push the limits on what we
can do to support these soldiers"
Daniel joined more than 1,400 promi-
nent business and philanthropic leaders
from across the country at the his-
toric Waldorf Astoria Hotel for the FIDF
National NY Gala Dinner, which raised
$20 million for programs to support
Israeli soldiers.
The funds raised will provide aca-
demic scholarships to former combat
soldiers, financial support for soldiers in
need and Lone Soldier volunteers from
around the world, weeks of rest and
recreation for entire IDF units, as well
as educational, cultural and recreational
facilities.
