TI4Israel Presents: Special in Uniform Director Lt. Col. Tiran Attia

February 10 @ 6:30 PM8:00 PM EST

Temple Israel and the Jewish National Fund (JNF) invite the entire community
to join us as we welcome Tiran Attia, Executive Director of Special in
Uniform, on Monday, February 10 at 6:30 p.m. as part of our TI 4 Israel
series.
Special in Uniform (SIU) is an innovative program that integrates young people
with disabilities into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli society.
After their service, SIU helps its graduates transition to a life of
independence through employment opportunities and meaningful societal
involvement. In the wake of the October 7 attacks, SIU launched the “Hero for
Hero” program, which pairs wounded soldiers from the front lines with SIU
soldiers. Each pair participates in therapeutic sessions designed to promote
healing, resilience, and personal growth. Through these shared experiences,
the soldiers form deep bonds, offering emotional support to one another. Tiran
Attia leads this impactful program, which is sponsored by JNF. With over 30
years of distinguished service in the IDF, Attia has commanded a tank
battalion, led the IDF’s Technology & Logistics Forces training program, and
directed the Sar-El program for army volunteers from around the world.
This program is generously supported by the Miriam z”l & Dr. Isaac Barr Israel
Education Fund.
The honorary chair of the SIU program is congregant Max Robins. The host
committee for this event is Deborah & Josh Berkovitz, Allie Padnos, Benji
Rosenzweig and Katie Wallace. Staff liaisons to the host committee are Jason
Plotkin and Maya Grinboim.
