Join us for an extraordinary evening with Major R and Captain T, two remarkable Israeli soldiers who embody courage, commitment, and unwavering dedication to their country and community.
Gain firsthand insight into their courage, resilience, and the realities of life in combat zones. Prepare to be inspired and moved by their stories of sacrifice, camaraderie, and unwavering dedication to their country!
Together, T and R are on a mission to enlighten and inspire by sharing their profound experiences and insights through a series of lectures across the United States.
Their presentations are enriched with immersive footage, including videos from T's Go-Pro, capturing hundreds of rescue missions, and R's cockpit cameras, offering a firsthand view of his aerial endeavors.
Major R: R embodies courage and commitment. A fighter pilot of remarkable skill, R completed 85 missions upon his return to Israel in October, showcasing his bravery and expertise.
R, currently a student at Northwestern Kellogg, chose to balance his academic pursuits with his military obligations.
Along with being a devoted husband and father to a one-year-old baby girl, he manages an intensive academic workload alongside the demands of military service.
Captain T: A leader both in the field and in academia, T made the critical decision to interrupt his studies at Northwestern Kellogg to serve his country.
As a commander in the elite search and rescue unit 669, T played a crucial role in the "Iron Swords" operation and participated in the operation to bring back hostages from capture.

Since his release in October of 2018, Yehudah completed his Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, and obtained his Masters and Doctorate degrees in Social Work.
He now works as a clinical social worker for a collaborative court program for young adults in Orange County and as the senior director of mental health and well-being programs for a national non-profit organization. Additionally, Yehudah provides psychotherapy to individuals inside prison. He speaks at synogogues across the country about his journey from juvenile delinquency to Judaism; as well as the power of teshuvah and community, standing up against antisemitism, and the importance of the unbroken chain of indigenous Jewish tradition as it pertains to Jewish identity and Israel. Yehudah resides in Irvine, CA with his wife and four children.
Dr. Yehudah Price will also be speaking at Chabad’s Kiddush Lunch at 12:00pm on April 6th (services will be held at 10:00am).
