Episode 174 - Inside Operation Israel (featuring Adi Vaxman)

What do you do when your homeland is under attack and you're thousands of miles away?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Adi Vaxman recounts the unforgettable hours of October 7 and the overwhelming helplessness she experienced as family members entered combat, friends fought for their lives, and Israel faced one of the darkest days in its history.

Rather than remaining paralyzed, Adi turned heartbreak into action by founding Operation Israel. 

What began with purchasing protective gear for soldiers has grown into an organization that has raised more than $11 million to fund medical equipment, drone defense technology, trauma recovery programs, and innovative battlefield solutions that are now influencing the IDF itself.

This conversation is a compelling reminder that while we can't all be on the front lines, every one of us has the opportunity - and responsibility - to do something.
