You're listening to talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
Jewish broadcast on the air since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
And now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Welcome back to the program, Moms, Zev Brenner. People know
about addictions. You know, an alcohol addiction and people know
about that. That gets prevalent and we in the Jewish
community unfortunately had to deal with that, but there are
many other addictions, including gambling. The Safe Foundation has been
around for twenty one years dealing with a whole range
of addictions, including gambling. And right now we're speaking to
(07:38):
Jessica Stein. It's going a corector for the Safe Foundation.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Thank you for joining us, Thank you for having me Hi,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Thank you. You know who would have thought years ago
was the expression was that Jews didn't really drink that much.
And I remember going on a cruise and I asked
them what's in between the Jewish cruise and a non
Jewish cruise And the captain told me that at the
end of a regular cruise you have all the booze
is gone and the food is left over, and the
Jewish cruise, well, the food is gone and the booze
(08:06):
is left over. And today I think the booze is
gone too.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Unfortunately, yes, unfortunately, addiction doesn't discriminate between gender, between gender's
religion anyone. So it's definitely become a bigger problem, and
it's become more normalized too. So unfortunately it affects.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The Jewish comunity works with that. Jewish men know, you
have offices in Brooklyn and also deal in New Jersey.
So how let's start with alcohol. Then when you get
to the gambling, how probalment of a problem is alcohol addiction.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I think it's a bigger problem then probably we even know,
I think a lot of people, because it's so normal
in our communities, right like, all the holidays are surrounded
by alcohol. It's become very normal in you know, teenagers
who experiment and parties. But even in just our holidays,
right like, taste off four cups of wine, poem, drink
(08:55):
until you don't remember things. So everything is so embedded
with alcohol, and it becomes very hard to determine whether
someone has a problem or not, I think in their
own household. So I do think it's a bigger problem
than even we want to admit. But it's pretty big.
I think the number one addiction that we've seen over
the last twenty years is always going to be alcohol.
(09:16):
It's always up there, even when opiates our skyrocketing, Alcohols
always in that top category of things people struggle with.
So it's gotten bigger and bigger, just as people are
more like okay with drinking. But yeah, it's not a
small problem.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And I would assume the proliferation of kiddish clubs has
only contributed to the problem too.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Yeah, for sure. And there's been a lot of things
articles about these kiddish clubs, the problems that they cause,
or just even not only for the adults, but even
for the loved ones and the children and just watching
this and seeing that it's okay and it's fun. It
just it brings out a problem, like it highlights this thing, right,
and then kids start wanting to try it, being like
(09:58):
dad fitting in and so yeah, it's definitely been exacerbated
by kiddish clubs and the way that we use it
to socialize, that you can't go anywhere without there being
alcohol there, cocktail, bottle of wine.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Would you say it's even bigger than let's say, drug
addiction in the community.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
I don't know if it's necessarily bigger. I know we've
always seen here it's safe. The top addictions we've always
been helping people with have been alcohol. That's always up
there in our top category where most people come in
struggling with that. Historically. I do think the drugs or opiates, cocaine,
things like that are big problems as well. I think
(10:36):
alcohol it always just seems like that problem that people
don't want to admit as a problem. So finally when
it gets two out of hand, they do. I think
the drug problem goes a little bit more unseen for longer,
so we might just not see it as much, but
it's probably also big. But alcohol is always going to
be a top No, it sounds there now.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I was surprised when I was talking to people about
to say foundation, people said, well, one of the things
to deal with very strongly is compulsive gambling. I didn't
people like you said. People know alcohol is a problem,
drug is a problem, drug addiction, But compulsive gambling. How
big of a problem is it? I guess and must be.
I'm hearing that from people, but it's not on the
(11:17):
radar screen of most people, right.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah. I think the way that we refer to gambling,
and it's not just here it's safe, it's anywhere. It's
like that silent killer, where there could be compulsive gambling
people all over and we just wouldn't. You wouldn't be
able to tell. There's no there's no sign, there's no
symptom that someone is struggling. It's definitely become much bigger
(11:39):
of a problem since legalization about two years ago. At
this point, two or three years ago, when sports betting
and online betting has become legal, in New York, the
numbers have just gotten out of control. But it's become
a humongous problem. Our gambling clientele here is really there's
times we get only gambling clients come and for help,
(12:00):
which is great, But it's definitely the silent problem because
also it's very misunderstood. I think people wouldn't look at
anyone and say, yeah, use drugs, that's good for you. Right,
everyone knows that that's bad. But gambling is like a
social event. You go to a casino, you play some hands, right,
it's not a big deal. And you can't always tell
if someone's selling their house because they've gambled all their
(12:23):
money away, or if they're just you know, looking to move. Right.
It's a very silent, unnoticeable problem, and so I think
that makes it even scarier for people, and also more
lon It's like Lonelier, Right, People struggling with gambling don't
feel like they necessarily have people that get it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
They don't think they have a problem if they're gambling, right,
a lot of them they don't realize that they have
a problem.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Oftentimes. I tell people all the time, like you usually
go for help when you've lost a lot of money,
until you're at that point where you've lost a lot
of money, you don't usually think it's a problem because
you've convinced yourself that if I do it differently the time,
it'll be better if I play this game instead of
that game. I know I'll win if I use the
free bed. It's not really my money, right, But once
(13:06):
someone is at that point where they've lost a lot
a significant amount, that's usually what drives someone to realize like,
this is the problem. Until then, unfortunately, it could be
years where it's no big deal. So it's usually the
external financial piece that drive someone to get.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
The help, suggest to talking to me, because when it
comes to gambling and they lose their house to listen,
all addictions affect family members, but I think especially gambling
where their house could be in danger or their finances
could be shattered, so it has a very dramatic effect
on all members that are the household. I know you
deal with family members too.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Yeah, We A large portion of the people that we've
worked with over our years are family members, whether or
not there person who's struggling with drugs, alcoho, gambling. Our
clients here, we work with the family members because these
things do take a tremendous toll on the family members,
both physically externally, like finances, household, all those things, but
(14:03):
even just mentally, helping them understand what addiction really is.
Why gambling addiction, for example, is not so simple to
just not gamble, right, Why budgeting finances might not be
so simple. Why it might be important for a spouse
to take over finances for a bit, or to understand
a little bit more about what's going on with the bills.
(14:25):
And you know, a lot of times in our communities,
one person pays the bills, the other person might be
in the dark with that. They just trust that it's happening.
But then when it comes to a point, you know,
it's about helping that the loved ones really understand, like
how do we change things moving forward so that we
don't let this get bigger of a problem. But yeah,
especially with gambling, financially, homes, taxes, debt collectors, all these
(14:50):
stressors that come from the whole of financial the financial
whole from gambling. It takes a humongous toll on the
family members and they're really they deserve someone to help
them through that as well.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Now, how do you help with gambling. I can understand alcohol,
you can their programs, and you have programs dealing with
drugs and detoxification. How do you get somebody off from gambling?
How do you stop them from gambling?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Yeah, so you know, it's funny. Part of what we
do here is I never tell people to stop what
they're doing, right, Like, if you're coming here, it's because
you have some kind of desire to stop what you're doing.
What we help people with, whether it's drugs, alcohol, or gambling,
is helping them get the tools to understand their behaviors.
Really try with gambling specifically, it's about helping them understand
(15:38):
their relationship with money, helping them learn budgeting skills. We
could sit with them a little bit. We do encourage
outside resources like the AA Alcoholics Anonymous or Gambler's Anonymous,
where they can also target certain things. But the stuff
we do here is really helping change certain behaviors and
understanding their thought patterns with it, and really being able
(15:59):
to be more open and honest and reconnecting them with
loved ones and building on that support so that there's
a not the loneliness of doing this, doing this by yourself,
and also be where there's more accountability, and there's more
of a partnership and more of what you don't want
to lose. If you go back to your addiction.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Now, why would somebody start gambling addiction? What believes And
you can understand when it comes to alcohol, people depressed,
so they want to be more social and they can't
handle little drugs. But why would somebody become a compulsive gambler?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
So oftentimes it starts in a similar way, like right,
A lot of it's nature nurture, some of its genetics.
Some of it's the way like the things you're around.
If you think about a casino itself, right, You know,
many people go to casinos as a fun thing to do,
but if you just look at it, it's very intriguing,
it's very exciting. You walk in and you feel like
you're there. There are some people similar to the people
(16:52):
that can't really have a glass of wine without going more.
There's some people where you play, you know, you have
a social gathering with people, you go to casina, you
put the money in a slot and you win for
some people who might be more you know, in need
of that positive reinforcement, right, that that need for continuing
that if they win, they're more likely to now, oh,
(17:13):
this was easy, Like, I might as well do this.
This is a good way to make money, and all
these types of gambling sites, right, you get these free bets,
money in your account, if you bet this, you get this. Right.
The mentality is that it's not really my money to lose.
Why not let's put it in Most first time gamblers
in some types of apps, like I feel like they win, right,
(17:36):
it's just let them win and see how it goes.
And then you start realizing that this is a really
easy way to make some money. And when you lose
a little bit, okay, like, the mind doesn't always remember
the times you've lost as much as it does the
times you've won. So it just starts fueling that need,
that adrenaline, that rush, the excitement right of a quick fix,
(17:56):
the immediate gratification. And then it becomes where just the
anticipation of am I going to win? Am I going
to lose? Becomes really exciting. Again, not all brains are
functioning in that way, but for the person that's going
to be a compulsive gambler, right, the same as someone
who becomes addicted to alcohol, they're more likely to need
that immediate gratical.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Now, I would assume that probably holiday times like Knica
or por may induce more people to gamble, even though
people gambling throughout the year. But I would assume that
to be the case correct.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I think anytime routine is off, or anytime there's a
gap in work or structure and there's a setting where
there's free time, and a lot of that free time
consists of activity and fun. And now runn at the
time is obviously a similar time to like the football
season coming to a close. These times of year, it
(18:47):
does spark any type of addiction to seem more intense
where there's just more time to get away with it, unfortunately, right,
and like unfortunately that's just the reality. We try to
get away from it. Anything that's going to threaten our addiction,
we don't want to let that person in.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So yeah, now, is it more men based as far
as the gambling addiction, I would assume that the drug
and alcohol is probably more even men and women. But
is it more men addicted to gambling and women or
the numbers close?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
So I think, similar to the religion, I don't believe
it discriminates. I think it's probably not too far off
what we've seen here at Safe. Just in the communities
we work with, it tends to be that the people
coming in for the addiction, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or gambling,
they tend to be male, and the loved ones tend
to be female. It's usually a wife or a mother
(19:39):
concerned about their kid. Obviously that's not general to the world.
It's definitely more I'm sure even we're just seeing here
it's more male heavy for the addiction. I do think
in our communities it's probably a little bit scary for
anyone to come out and ask for help, but you know,
knowing some of the women, it's hard to even more
(19:59):
so for help, so I think it's just not a
scene because they're not coming. Now.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Very impressive. I see that you had almost ninety five
hundred people that you've helped since you began safe in
two thousand and three.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Yeah, we definitely, thank god, have been able to help. Unfortunately,
people are struggling with these things, but thank god they've
reached out for help. And you know, I do think
that we do a wonderful job at setting an environment
where people do feel comfortable. You know, we're super hip,
a compliant we have two different entrances entrance and exit.
No one sees each other, and therefore people do feel comfortable.
(20:35):
If they have a hard time, once they leave treatment here,
they call us back, we can get them back in.
It's familiar, it feels very homegrown, which is nice, Like
it feels very comfortable for people. And because we do
specialize in working with the Jewish community, we know all
the holidays and the times of year and things like that.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
And you probably have I'm sure therapists and counselors who
know the community, who are part of the community. That
makes a big difference too.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Yeah, And definitely even if someone's not it within these
communities and they work with us, they're very familiar just
in terms of this surrounding. But even our people that
we work with in the communities, like the people that
are trying to just like be advocates or peers for
people struggling, like wives that have gone through this, they're
all in the community. They all have things going on
(21:22):
on Shabbat, right, you know, long day in the summer.
AA meetings happen on at certain people's homes. People open
up their homes for that. So it's really been it's
been really beautiful to see that within our Jewish communities,
and I do want I want to like help grow
that with the Ashkana's communities and the Sparti communities. I
think it's a really beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
No, it's very important. Then. I know that you're starting
eating disorder addictions as well. That's all in the works
for the Say Foundations. So you're expanding your reach and
unfortunately more people need your help. That's just the byproduct
of the times. Nothing we can do about it. But
as long as you're there to help, that's an important thing. So, Jessica,
people want to learn more. First of all, who funds you?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
We are primarily funded by our surrounding communities here. We're
located like you said earlier, we're located here in Brooklyn.
We have an office out in Field, New Jersey. We're
primarily funded by the surrounding Syrian Jewish community. They you know,
they've been very supportive of us. They've been very helpful.
We're always looking for donations. We don't get a lot
(22:28):
of state funding. We're really trying to just you know,
get from people that are willing to help us. But
if people do want to learn more, they can always
give us a call at seven one eight Get Safe,
seven one eight, Get Safe. It's a good one. It's
an easy one to remember. That call usually goes directly
to me. Sometimes my assistant will answer, but then they'll
transfer over to me. I do take most of the
(22:48):
first calls. It's a confidential first call where we just
kind of get a sense of what's going on. Even
if we're not the right setting for you, we're with
you on the journey to help you find the right setting,
and we're very involved.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But you're not limited to this Swarda community, you help Ashknasm, Swardam, Syrians,
everybody needs help. You there to help.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Yeah, Eddie walk of Life. We're here to help no
matter who. If you're located further than Brooklyn, we can
offer zoom sessions if that's what's needed. But yeah, we
take it step by step, individualize it. But I'm the
one that we'll be working with people in the beginning
to really get them acclimated to what we're doing here
and be with them on their journey if it's here
or if it's somewhere that's better suited for them.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Jessica Simon's clinical director of the SAY foundation business for
twenty one years, helping all kinds of including gambling with people,
even not on the radar screen, but it's an important

your service, think what you're doing, and look forward to
having you back again.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
You're listening to talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
Jewish broadcast on the year since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
And now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Welcome back to the program, Moms, Zev Brenner. You know,
there are lots of good Jewish organizations in the United States,
but in Israel there is one group, One Israel Fund,
that's been around for thirty years of celebrating the thirtieth
conniversarys helping the Jewish communities and Dear Samaria, Jordan Valley.
They doing amazing work for security wise, protecting them and
making sure that there needs it to both taken care of.
(28:39):
Scott Feldman joins us executive vice president of the One
Israel Fund. He's been there seventeen years in his official capacity.
Ba's within the group even longer. So welcome back.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Always a pleasure, Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
You do amazing work, and you really people need protection
and lives your d in Samaria in those areas especially,
So tell us about some of the days did they
work that the organization has done over thirty years.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
So we focus on five different areas, and as you said,
we do it in Judaea, Samaria, in the Jordan Valley.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
And when we started, we also.
Speaker 13 (29:12):
Included those communities in Gush Katif was Yeah, those beautiful
communities that we lost. And then after the disengagement back
in two thousand and five, the organization also pivoted a
little bit to helping the communities that were left in
its wake along the southern border, and now during the
war also up on the northern border, we were called
up to assist and we basically focus on filling gaps
(29:36):
in the areas of you mentioned preventive security, but also
in medical and healthcare, education, recreation, and communal development.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
So at any one.
Speaker 13 (29:46):
Time, I am basically working on funding sometimes upwards of
two hundred projects. They can range from small projects of
creating a garden or an organic farm, to providing scholarships
for schools, needs programs, at risk youth programs, computer training
skills programs.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
We're building a hospital in Binyamin.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Doctor Paul, my good friend, he's spearheading. He's very active
with that.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
Yeah, he's involved with it also, that's correct, right.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well, listen to he's a wonderful individual, very dedicated to you.
Speaker 13 (30:18):
By the way, Yes, we actually have a very big
announcement coming up at the dinner that you mentioned regarding
the medical center.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
Look, our bulk of the work is certainly in the
areas of security.
Speaker 13 (30:29):
These are you know, these are not the easiest places
to live, and we need to make sure that they
have the protection they need. We work in tandem with
the security apparatus that exists in those areas and we
seek to fill gaps. When I started during the interfat
of years, my first project that was handed to me
was a children's bulletproof vest campaign to provide vests for
(30:52):
children when they had to go out into cars on
the road. We did vans to transport special needs children
to school, and those were the days when you know,
they we're drive by shootings and bus bombings and everything
else that was going on, and we haven't stopped since.
You know, we do a lot of surveillance camera systems,
for lighting systems, thermal drones. We were the first organization
(31:13):
to identify the advantage of having a thermal drone in
being able to detect potential terrorist threats, arson threats, things
like that. Everything we do is preventive and it's for
the civilian security teams. We're not involved with the army.
We focus on what the civilian teams need. Each community
has a what's called a rapid response team akitak kannanut,
(31:35):
and they have the various equipment that they need, patrol
vehicles and the like. But I'm also building mikfhahs, and
I'm building synagogues, and I'm building libraries and pinot haramot
for soldier hospitality centers and communities. Just since October seventh,
I think we filled almost five hundred different projects in
almost every community throughout your day in Samaria. We're very
(31:58):
proud of the work we did. Do it on a
shoe string budget. We're consistently ranked four stars with Charity Navigator.
And I do it because we all believe in the
cause and we all love working here.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
No, it's such important work, and I should let everybody
know that the Israeli Army all you can do so much,
so they rely on people and organizations such as one.
Is real fun to fill in the gaps and provide
the security and to work in tandem. And that's why
you know it's so important. And perhaps you're just an idea.
I know everybody's been focused on Gaza and Lebanon, but
(32:29):
what's the security situation been intradand Samaria and the Jordan Valley.
Since October seventh, it's also been a heightened stance of
security needs, very much so.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
In fact, in the very early days of the Iron
Swords War, everybody thought and all signs were leading towards
that area being a tinderbox and could explode at any moment.
Every one of these communities is surrounded by Arab villages.
Many of the communities have relationships with their Arab neighbors,
but there's you know, there's an element there that is
(33:00):
quite quite dangerous, and we're constantly fighting off terror. One
of the things that we learned over the year is
that first of all, you have to realize you just
you mentioned, you know, the army can't fulfill every need.
Speaker 10 (33:14):
It's more than just equipment.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
The Army can't be everywhere at every moment, Which is
why we have the Which is why we have the
creation of these ke Kut, the rapid Response Team, is
because they are the first responders to any kind of
a situation that takes place within the boundaries of a
community of an issue of so they are probably you know,
they are trained. We're involved in that training. We train
(33:38):
them also on the equipment that we give out. The
drones that we give out comes with a training course
so they can learn how to use it in all
types of inclement weather, that they can control the drone
and understand how to use it.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
To effectively with its thermal capabilities.
Speaker 13 (33:53):
And we we saw in the early days of the
war that because cause of the nature of the communities
in Juday and Samaria, and because they are strong, and
because they are equipped and they're well trained, that served
in a large part as a deterrent to a situation
(34:14):
like happened down in the Gaza border from happening in
Juday and Samaria.
Speaker 10 (34:19):
It's a different type of a scenario.
Speaker 13 (34:21):
The communities down along the Gaza border, many of them
and this is not you know, I'm not saying this
in a positive or negative sense, but many of them
tended to be very, very left wing socialist communities.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Some of them were from before the State of.
Speaker 13 (34:36):
Israel was even formed, and they worked very hard on
reaching out and developing relationships with their Arab neighbors, even
in Gaza itself. And it was an interesting metamorphosis that
after October seventh, many of them started to rethink the
efforts that they had put in to those relationships when
(34:57):
they found out that, you know.
Speaker 10 (34:59):
This is what was going on during the entire time.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
It's a fact, Scott that people who worked in their
homes actually gave intelligent to attack them exactly.
Speaker 10 (35:08):
So we don't have that situation in today in scenario.
Speaker 13 (35:12):
First of all, after October seventh, every hour worker was
pretty much kicked out of the communities. But you know,
in large part those communities are very, very strong, they're
well trained, they're well equipped, and it's a different situation.
And I'm happy to say that for thirty years, you know,
we have worked hand in hand in bringing about that reality.
(35:32):
So I'm not sitting here, I'm not telling you that
I'm the army. I'm not the army is strong, and
I'm not saying that it's because of one Israel fund
that you know, terror didn't explode like it did down
south in Juday scenario. But I am confident and I
can tell you this with you know, no shadow of doubt.
We have played a major role in the protection of
(35:54):
the communities in Juday. In Samaria and my security team,
and you know some of them. Mark Mark is one
of the foremost counter terror experts that exists in Jaday
and Samaria. He doesn't go into a community and listen
to them talk about what they need. He goes into
a community, looks at the situation, does a threat assessment,
(36:14):
and tells them what they need. And oftentimes he's able
to tell them that what they thought they needed to
protect themselves and to equip their teams wasn't exactly what
they needed. And we've saved money and we've made it
more efficient and we take a very very proactive role.
Our motto here for the twenty thirty years that we've
(36:36):
been around, and certainly seventeen years that I've been running
the organization has been no more Jewish victims, and we
live with that. We want to make sure to be
proactive and do whatever we can to prevent terror. One
of the projects that we're right now bringing online because
you were talking about the Army, is an AI monitored
camera system in one of the communities, and it's a pilot.
(37:00):
The Army is actually waiting to see its success to
figure out if it's going to invest in implementing it
in other areas, and oftentimes we one Israel of under
the guinea pigs that put in the money for a
specific project, demonstrate its effectiveness and then either the Army
or the Ministry of Defense or other areas if it's
another you know, another department, will assess its effectiveness and
(37:25):
make a determination as to whether or not they want
to put more money into it. So in twenty sixteen,
we created a project for armored vests for the rough
Shots and the security civilian chiefs because they were wearing
they were wearing combat vests and their job is to
drive around in cars and vehicles and to constantly get
in and out, and you can't sit with one of
(37:45):
those vests.
Speaker 10 (37:45):
It's not designed for that.
Speaker 13 (37:47):
So Mark, being a former rough Shots, a former security
chief in the Shiloh Bloc, redesigned the vest.
Speaker 10 (37:53):
We supplied three hundred or three hundred and fifty vests.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
The rough Shots in the Army saw its value and
they can in forty five hundred additional vests for the teams.
Speaker 10 (38:03):
So in many areas we punch far above our weight.
And that's just our projects.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
And we didn't even talk about the fact that somebody
like Eve Harrow is out there with our day trips
and educating people even during COVID online with virtual tours
with webinars. We now have a new women's division. We're
about to kick off a renewal of our Young Leadership Division.
We started a Congressional caucus down in Washington where I've
(38:32):
made a number of trips down to Capitol Hill, and
we brought a delegation this past summer where we are.
Speaker 10 (38:39):
We're not lobbying, that's not the point.
Speaker 13 (38:41):
We're more educating some of the members on the Hill
of the importance of the communities in today and Samaria.
And it's kind of fortuitous because you and I both
know that with the incoming administration that's going to be
a very big focal point going forward in the next
four years.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
How is Scott Feldman, He's executive vice president of One
Israel Fund doing amazing work Toda Samaria in the Jordan valleys,
been there seventeen years. By the way, I wouldn't be
surprised if some of the technology that you've used, let's
say the vest the army can use it for themselves, right,
you use frut.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
Yeah, they're really designed more for the civilian work that
has done. And it's a different role than a combat soldier. Interesting,
so yeah, it's a very it's cut a little bit
above the waist. Combat soldiers are usually a little bit
more more protective. Actually, it's also much lighter so that
you know this if you're working in a civilian role,
(39:39):
you may have to climb a light pole to change
a fixture or something in the middle of the night,
and you know, you need to be able to maneuver around,
you need to be able to move, and you're constantly
getting in and out of vehicles, and so it's a
different type of a vest.
Speaker 10 (39:55):
It was designed specifically.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
For them, but it could be used let's say for
emergency rees is like MDA bugandeven a dome or so.
It has beyond just Dance America be used in Israel
proper one percent.
Speaker 13 (40:06):
We actually did an armored vest campaign for medics because
oftentimes they have to go into the line of fire.
So instead of giving them out to the actual medics,
we put two armored vests on each ambulance in Jday
and Samaria, so whoever is actually in the vehicle on
a specific day has proper protection if they have to
(40:27):
actually leave the ambulance and go into the line of fire.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Wow, amazing. Now who funds you? One is will fund you.
This costs money, security, inflation, and I know we do,
but it's strictly up to like the Americans and the
chutzniks that that doing it.
Speaker 10 (40:44):
We do not get public funding.
Speaker 13 (40:47):
We also do not get funding from I mean, for
the most part, from any of the major Jewish philanthropic organizations.
Speaker 10 (40:54):
You know, and I know Juda and Samaria. It has
a stigma to it.
Speaker 13 (41:00):
For for whatever reason, we believe it's the you know,
we know it's the Biblical heartland, it's where seventy five
percent of the Bible took place. We know it's a
strategic area. We know it's the cradle of Jewish civilization.
That's where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob resided. But for whatever reason,
you know, it's a political football, and the major Jewish
(41:21):
philanthropic organizations will not participate with us. So we're left
to basically raise money from the wonderful individuals that exist
throughout this country on a on an individual basis. It
makes it a little bit more difficult, but a lot
more rewarding because I get to see and meet the
faces that support us and support us they do.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Now. One of the vehicles that you do is a
gala fundraising dinner, which is really fun because it's a
serious organization, but the dinner has some very very prominent
people and people have a great time. I've been to
your events and it's really it's really fun, but it's
also educational and also, Sir, is a good fund raising
tell us about your upcoming dinner. You have a lot
of interesting on a reason, including my good friend Sid
(42:07):
Rosenberg his wife Danielle. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (42:09):
So Sid and I have become close friends over the
past year. He had never been to Israel, and in January,
a friend, a mutual friend of ours, Judah Huntman, basically
called him up one day and said, Sid, it's not
enough to be talking about it on the air. You
kind of come And he basically said, Okay, how do
I do this? And through a lot of fortune due
(42:31):
to reach, reached out to me and I helped. I
was one of the participants in helping to sponsor his trip,
and since then we've become fast friends with his whole family,
his daughter who's doing amazing work on campus in London,
and his son here and his wife.
Speaker 10 (42:48):
So We're very excited. The two of the matter is
we haven't had an in person dinner since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Oh wow. Yeah, your events in the summertime where you
have a lot of you know, the summer.
Speaker 13 (42:58):
Community events many different communities around here. But as far
as our Galla dinner, we wereposed of our twenty fifth
it got canceled because of COVID.
Speaker 10 (43:06):
It went online the following year.
Speaker 13 (43:09):
We were about to do it in person, and then
there was another spike or something if I remember correctly,
so that was also a virtual and then we didn't
do it. You know, we didn't do it in twenty
twenty two, and then the war started in twenty twenty three,
and we haven't had an in person dinner in six years.
Speaker 10 (43:23):
So we're all really excited and we wanted to go
big or go home.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
So that's why I have some of any prominent guests
that are being on it. I was wondering. You have
a great roster.
Speaker 13 (43:31):
We put together as much of an all star lineup
as any organization has ever compiled in one room at
one night. In addition to wonderful honorees, we have the
Nnazi family, parents and children from Englewood, and the Sharfs
from Lawrence Marty and Melody Carol Greenwald, who's getting our
first ever inaugural women's division Women of Valor. She split
(43:53):
her time between Maryland and Florida. We have Sid and
Danielle who you mentioned. Very very meaningfully important to me
is that we created this year a Founder's Award in
honor of our founder, doctor Rhil Leider. Some of your
listeners may recognize the name aside from being our founder
and a visionary who created one is welf on thirty
years ago. He was just nominated and confirmed as the
(44:16):
new Israeli Ambassador to the United States by Prime Minister Yahoo.
Very nice, starting his term sometime I believe in January. Unfortunately,
in the early days of the war, his oldest son
fell in battle in last November in Gaza. So we're
giving the first ever Founder's Award posthumously in memory of
(44:37):
Moshia de de Lighter, MD. He was actually he was
in the army for fifteen years and then after graduating,
with six kids and a wife, he decided to go
to medical school and he was supposed to this past
June be part of the first graduating class of Ariel
University's new School of Medicine, and they gave him his
(44:59):
doctorate posthumously as well, and we're honoring his memory in
the first Founder's Award that's basically in honor of his father.
And every year there will be a monetary gift made
to a new Mechina, a pre military academy that is
(45:19):
going to be built in memory of Moshia Didya down
in the Otef on the dows of border. His father
is spearheading that Yaheel and we are going to make
a monetary contribution every year in honor of.
Speaker 10 (45:30):
The award for the Founder's Award.
Speaker 13 (45:32):
And then we have two Israeli women that we're honoring,
Hadassa Goldberg, who some of your listeners may know as
the real Hadassa on social media and Hadasko Zlan, who
I think has three followers on Instagram. She is one tough,
tough woman. She is the head of security for the
entire Jordan Valley. She is a mother, a wife, and
(45:53):
the toughest person you ever want to meet and the
sweetest and most beautiful woman. I apologize to my wife
about that. So those are ares and that's not even
the program. The VIP reception. For those people who want
to join at a premium level, we'll get to interact
and mingle with Mosab Hassan Yusef, better known as the
(46:15):
Son of Hamas, who is going to be in a
fireside chat with Nathaniel Buzalik, who people might know as
Nate Buzz. He's an actor in Hollywood from the Originals
and The Vampire Diaries, two shows I didn't even know
about until about a month ago, but I had to
learn up.
Speaker 10 (46:30):
Michael Rappaport, who's a well.
Speaker 13 (46:33):
Known comedian, israel activist and actor as well, is our MC.
Speaker 10 (46:38):
He actually joined us one of the days with Sid
in Israel.
Speaker 13 (46:41):
So we got to take Michael around to to Shilo
and the entire Binyamin area and and did I.
Speaker 10 (46:49):
Get Did I get everybody?
Speaker 13 (46:52):
And Noah Buskuila who's an Israeli musician, and Aria Kunsler
will be performing a concert at the end of the
night and engracing us throughout the program as well.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
Right, So what the data is it all taking place
is going to take place in Manhattan.
Speaker 10 (47:06):
December nineteenth, in New York City.
Speaker 13 (47:09):
I think your listeners will understand we're not giving out
the location without a reservation for security purposes, but they
can register online at one Israel Fund dot org slash focus.
That's one O n E Israel is r A E
L f U n D dot org slash focus. And
(47:30):
we want everybody to focus on all the good work
that Winners Fund has been doing and the opportunity that
now rests upon us to do big things in the
very near future.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
And that might be very secure evening because you have
not only security from the place, you have security from Israel,
and that different people have brought their own security, so
it will be a very secure night.
Speaker 13 (47:55):
We're planning for everything and anything, and then some between
the private security that you're our guests bring and our
own security and the wonderful work of the NYPD and
the sorry and the.
Speaker 10 (48:11):
Venue. We we're doing everything we can to make sure
it's secure.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
No it's important events, so everybody who can please attend.
Looking forward to it. It's a really wonderful organization, and
especially I'm excited about what alluded to is the hospital
that's going to be coming in there, which a lot
of work Doctor Paulmurmanski has put a lot of work
and effort into it, and thank go Art it's coming
closer to fruition. There'll be an announcement at the dinner itself,
(48:36):
so we're looking forward to hearing that. Want to thank
you Scott Feldman. It's not easy. There's a lot of work.
It's not and everybody that grow a Jewish group of
running group that you do in some areas has lots
of challenges. So hats a few for pulling it off
and putting together. Really at magnificent gal Evan coming up.
Speaker 10 (48:52):
Thank you zev.
Speaker 13 (48:53):
We can't do it without friends and people like you
and all of our friends around the country, and it's
just it's a labor of love.

You know.
Speaker 10 (49:00):
We worked hard, but we enjoy every moment of it.
Speaker 3 (49:04):
And does good work because of secures lives. And by
the way, even after the war, I was shocked to
see that Israel is considered one of the happiest places
on earth even after October seventh.
Speaker 10 (49:13):
Amazing. What does it say about us people? We're crazy.
Speaker 3 (49:17):
We know something that everybody else doesn't know. It's in
the water. But anyway, it's a wonderful, wonderful thing. So Scott,

You're listening to talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
Jewish broadcast on the air since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
And now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Welcome back to the program, Moms, Zev Brenner. People know
about addictions. You know, an alcohol addiction and people know
about that. That gets prevalent and we in the Jewish
community unfortunately had to deal with that, but there are
many other addictions, including gambling. The Safe Foundation has been
around for twenty one years dealing with a whole range
of addictions, including gambling. And right now we're speaking to
(07:38):
Jessica Stein. It's going a corector for the Safe Foundation.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Thank you for joining us, Thank you for having me Hi,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Thank you. You know who would have thought years ago
was the expression was that Jews didn't really drink that much.
And I remember going on a cruise and I asked
them what's in between the Jewish cruise and a non
Jewish cruise And the captain told me that at the
end of a regular cruise you have all the booze
is gone and the food is left over, and the
Jewish cruise, well, the food is gone and the booze
(08:06):
is left over. And today I think the booze is
gone too.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Unfortunately, yes, unfortunately, addiction doesn't discriminate between gender, between gender's
religion anyone. So it's definitely become a bigger problem, and
it's become more normalized too. So unfortunately it affects.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The Jewish comunity works with that. Jewish men know, you
have offices in Brooklyn and also deal in New Jersey.
So how let's start with alcohol. Then when you get
to the gambling, how probalment of a problem is alcohol addiction.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I think it's a bigger problem then probably we even know,
I think a lot of people, because it's so normal
in our communities, right like, all the holidays are surrounded
by alcohol. It's become very normal in you know, teenagers
who experiment and parties. But even in just our holidays,
right like, taste off four cups of wine, poem, drink
(08:55):
until you don't remember things. So everything is so embedded
with alcohol, and it becomes very hard to determine whether
someone has a problem or not, I think in their
own household. So I do think it's a bigger problem
than even we want to admit. But it's pretty big.
I think the number one addiction that we've seen over
the last twenty years is always going to be alcohol.
(09:16):
It's always up there, even when opiates our skyrocketing, Alcohols
always in that top category of things people struggle with.
So it's gotten bigger and bigger, just as people are
more like okay with drinking. But yeah, it's not a
small problem.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And I would assume the proliferation of kiddish clubs has
only contributed to the problem too.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Yeah, for sure. And there's been a lot of things
articles about these kiddish clubs, the problems that they cause,
or just even not only for the adults, but even
for the loved ones and the children and just watching
this and seeing that it's okay and it's fun. It
just it brings out a problem, like it highlights this thing, right,
and then kids start wanting to try it, being like
(09:58):
dad fitting in and so yeah, it's definitely been exacerbated
by kiddish clubs and the way that we use it
to socialize, that you can't go anywhere without there being
alcohol there, cocktail, bottle of wine.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Would you say it's even bigger than let's say, drug
addiction in the community.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
I don't know if it's necessarily bigger. I know we've
always seen here it's safe. The top addictions we've always
been helping people with have been alcohol. That's always up
there in our top category where most people come in
struggling with that. Historically. I do think the drugs or opiates, cocaine,
things like that are big problems as well. I think
(10:36):
alcohol it always just seems like that problem that people
don't want to admit as a problem. So finally when
it gets two out of hand, they do. I think
the drug problem goes a little bit more unseen for longer,
so we might just not see it as much, but
it's probably also big. But alcohol is always going to
be a top No, it sounds there now.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I was surprised when I was talking to people about
to say foundation, people said, well, one of the things
to deal with very strongly is compulsive gambling. I didn't
people like you said. People know alcohol is a problem,
drug is a problem, drug addiction, But compulsive gambling. How
big of a problem is it? I guess and must be.
I'm hearing that from people, but it's not on the
(11:17):
radar screen of most people, right.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah. I think the way that we refer to gambling,
and it's not just here it's safe, it's anywhere. It's
like that silent killer, where there could be compulsive gambling
people all over and we just wouldn't. You wouldn't be
able to tell. There's no there's no sign, there's no
symptom that someone is struggling. It's definitely become much bigger
(11:39):
of a problem since legalization about two years ago. At
this point, two or three years ago, when sports betting
and online betting has become legal, in New York, the
numbers have just gotten out of control. But it's become
a humongous problem. Our gambling clientele here is really there's
times we get only gambling clients come and for help,
(12:00):
which is great, But it's definitely the silent problem because
also it's very misunderstood. I think people wouldn't look at
anyone and say, yeah, use drugs, that's good for you. Right,
everyone knows that that's bad. But gambling is like a
social event. You go to a casino, you play some hands, right,
it's not a big deal. And you can't always tell
if someone's selling their house because they've gambled all their
(12:23):
money away, or if they're just you know, looking to move. Right.
It's a very silent, unnoticeable problem, and so I think
that makes it even scarier for people, and also more
lon It's like Lonelier, Right, People struggling with gambling don't
feel like they necessarily have people that get it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
They don't think they have a problem if they're gambling, right,
a lot of them they don't realize that they have
a problem.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Oftentimes. I tell people all the time, like you usually
go for help when you've lost a lot of money,
until you're at that point where you've lost a lot
of money, you don't usually think it's a problem because
you've convinced yourself that if I do it differently the time,
it'll be better if I play this game instead of
that game. I know I'll win if I use the
free bed. It's not really my money, right, But once
(13:06):
someone is at that point where they've lost a lot
a significant amount, that's usually what drives someone to realize like,
this is the problem. Until then, unfortunately, it could be
years where it's no big deal. So it's usually the
external financial piece that drive someone to get.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
The help, suggest to talking to me, because when it
comes to gambling and they lose their house to listen,
all addictions affect family members, but I think especially gambling
where their house could be in danger or their finances
could be shattered, so it has a very dramatic effect
on all members that are the household. I know you
deal with family members too.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Yeah, We A large portion of the people that we've
worked with over our years are family members, whether or
not there person who's struggling with drugs, alcoho, gambling. Our
clients here, we work with the family members because these
things do take a tremendous toll on the family members,
both physically externally, like finances, household, all those things, but
(14:03):
even just mentally, helping them understand what addiction really is.
Why gambling addiction, for example, is not so simple to
just not gamble, right, Why budgeting finances might not be
so simple. Why it might be important for a spouse
to take over finances for a bit, or to understand
a little bit more about what's going on with the bills.
(14:25):
And you know, a lot of times in our communities,
one person pays the bills, the other person might be
in the dark with that. They just trust that it's happening.
But then when it comes to a point, you know,
it's about helping that the loved ones really understand, like
how do we change things moving forward so that we
don't let this get bigger of a problem. But yeah,
especially with gambling, financially, homes, taxes, debt collectors, all these
(14:50):
stressors that come from the whole of financial the financial
whole from gambling. It takes a humongous toll on the
family members and they're really they deserve someone to help
them through that as well.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Now, how do you help with gambling. I can understand alcohol,
you can their programs, and you have programs dealing with
drugs and detoxification. How do you get somebody off from gambling?
How do you stop them from gambling?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Yeah, so you know, it's funny. Part of what we
do here is I never tell people to stop what
they're doing, right, Like, if you're coming here, it's because
you have some kind of desire to stop what you're doing.
What we help people with, whether it's drugs, alcohol, or gambling,
is helping them get the tools to understand their behaviors.
Really try with gambling specifically, it's about helping them understand
(15:38):
their relationship with money, helping them learn budgeting skills. We
could sit with them a little bit. We do encourage
outside resources like the AA Alcoholics Anonymous or Gambler's Anonymous,
where they can also target certain things. But the stuff
we do here is really helping change certain behaviors and
understanding their thought patterns with it, and really being able
(15:59):
to be more open and honest and reconnecting them with
loved ones and building on that support so that there's
a not the loneliness of doing this, doing this by yourself,
and also be where there's more accountability, and there's more
of a partnership and more of what you don't want
to lose. If you go back to your addiction.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Now, why would somebody start gambling addiction? What believes And
you can understand when it comes to alcohol, people depressed,
so they want to be more social and they can't
handle little drugs. But why would somebody become a compulsive gambler?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
So oftentimes it starts in a similar way, like right,
A lot of it's nature nurture, some of its genetics.
Some of it's the way like the things you're around.
If you think about a casino itself, right, You know,
many people go to casinos as a fun thing to do,
but if you just look at it, it's very intriguing,
it's very exciting. You walk in and you feel like
you're there. There are some people similar to the people
(16:52):
that can't really have a glass of wine without going more.
There's some people where you play, you know, you have
a social gathering with people, you go to casina, you
put the money in a slot and you win for
some people who might be more you know, in need
of that positive reinforcement, right, that that need for continuing
that if they win, they're more likely to now, oh,
(17:13):
this was easy, Like, I might as well do this.
This is a good way to make money, and all
these types of gambling sites, right, you get these free bets,
money in your account, if you bet this, you get this. Right.
The mentality is that it's not really my money to lose.
Why not let's put it in Most first time gamblers
in some types of apps, like I feel like they win, right,
(17:36):
it's just let them win and see how it goes.
And then you start realizing that this is a really
easy way to make some money. And when you lose
a little bit, okay, like, the mind doesn't always remember
the times you've lost as much as it does the
times you've won. So it just starts fueling that need,
that adrenaline, that rush, the excitement right of a quick fix,
(17:56):
the immediate gratification. And then it becomes where just the
anticipation of am I going to win? Am I going
to lose? Becomes really exciting. Again, not all brains are
functioning in that way, but for the person that's going
to be a compulsive gambler, right, the same as someone
who becomes addicted to alcohol, they're more likely to need
that immediate gratical.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Now, I would assume that probably holiday times like Knica
or por may induce more people to gamble, even though
people gambling throughout the year. But I would assume that
to be the case correct.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I think anytime routine is off, or anytime there's a
gap in work or structure and there's a setting where
there's free time, and a lot of that free time
consists of activity and fun. And now runn at the
time is obviously a similar time to like the football
season coming to a close. These times of year, it
(18:47):
does spark any type of addiction to seem more intense
where there's just more time to get away with it, unfortunately, right,
and like unfortunately that's just the reality. We try to
get away from it. Anything that's going to threaten our addiction,
we don't want to let that person in.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So yeah, now, is it more men based as far
as the gambling addiction, I would assume that the drug
and alcohol is probably more even men and women. But
is it more men addicted to gambling and women or
the numbers close?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
So I think, similar to the religion, I don't believe
it discriminates. I think it's probably not too far off
what we've seen here at Safe. Just in the communities
we work with, it tends to be that the people
coming in for the addiction, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or gambling,
they tend to be male, and the loved ones tend
to be female. It's usually a wife or a mother
(19:39):
concerned about their kid. Obviously that's not general to the world.
It's definitely more I'm sure even we're just seeing here
it's more male heavy for the addiction. I do think
in our communities it's probably a little bit scary for
anyone to come out and ask for help, but you know,
knowing some of the women, it's hard to even more
(19:59):
so for help, so I think it's just not a
scene because they're not coming. Now.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Very impressive. I see that you had almost ninety five
hundred people that you've helped since you began safe in
two thousand and three.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Yeah, we definitely, thank god, have been able to help. Unfortunately,
people are struggling with these things, but thank god they've
reached out for help. And you know, I do think
that we do a wonderful job at setting an environment
where people do feel comfortable. You know, we're super hip,
a compliant we have two different entrances entrance and exit.
No one sees each other, and therefore people do feel comfortable.
(20:35):
If they have a hard time, once they leave treatment here,
they call us back, we can get them back in.
It's familiar, it feels very homegrown, which is nice, Like
it feels very comfortable for people. And because we do
specialize in working with the Jewish community, we know all
the holidays and the times of year and things like that.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
And you probably have I'm sure therapists and counselors who
know the community, who are part of the community. That
makes a big difference too.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Yeah, And definitely even if someone's not it within these
communities and they work with us, they're very familiar just
in terms of this surrounding. But even our people that
we work with in the communities, like the people that
are trying to just like be advocates or peers for
people struggling, like wives that have gone through this, they're
all in the community. They all have things going on
(21:22):
on Shabbat, right, you know, long day in the summer.
AA meetings happen on at certain people's homes. People open
up their homes for that. So it's really been it's
been really beautiful to see that within our Jewish communities,
and I do want I want to like help grow
that with the Ashkana's communities and the Sparti communities. I
think it's a really beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
No, it's very important. Then. I know that you're starting
eating disorder addictions as well. That's all in the works
for the Say Foundations. So you're expanding your reach and
unfortunately more people need your help. That's just the byproduct
of the times. Nothing we can do about it. But
as long as you're there to help, that's an important thing. So, Jessica,
people want to learn more. First of all, who funds you?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
We are primarily funded by our surrounding communities here. We're
located like you said earlier, we're located here in Brooklyn.
We have an office out in Field, New Jersey. We're
primarily funded by the surrounding Syrian Jewish community. They you know,
they've been very supportive of us. They've been very helpful.
We're always looking for donations. We don't get a lot
(22:28):
of state funding. We're really trying to just you know,
get from people that are willing to help us. But
if people do want to learn more, they can always
give us a call at seven one eight Get Safe,
seven one eight, Get Safe. It's a good one. It's
an easy one to remember. That call usually goes directly
to me. Sometimes my assistant will answer, but then they'll
transfer over to me. I do take most of the
(22:48):
first calls. It's a confidential first call where we just
kind of get a sense of what's going on. Even
if we're not the right setting for you, we're with
you on the journey to help you find the right setting,
and we're very involved.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
But you're not limited to this Swarda community, you help Ashknasm, Swardam, Syrians,
everybody needs help. You there to help.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Yeah, Eddie walk of Life. We're here to help no
matter who. If you're located further than Brooklyn, we can
offer zoom sessions if that's what's needed. But yeah, we
take it step by step, individualize it. But I'm the
one that we'll be working with people in the beginning
to really get them acclimated to what we're doing here
and be with them on their journey if it's here
or if it's somewhere that's better suited for them.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
You're listening to talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
Jewish broadcast on the year since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
And now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Welcome back to the program, Moms, Zev Brenner. You know,
there are lots of good Jewish organizations in the United States,
but in Israel there is one group, One Israel Fund,
that's been around for thirty years of celebrating the thirtieth
conniversarys helping the Jewish communities and Dear Samaria, Jordan Valley.
They doing amazing work for security wise, protecting them and
making sure that there needs it to both taken care of.
(28:39):
Scott Feldman joins us executive vice president of the One
Israel Fund. He's been there seventeen years in his official capacity.
Ba's within the group even longer. So welcome back.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Always a pleasure, Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
You do amazing work, and you really people need protection
and lives your d in Samaria in those areas especially,
So tell us about some of the days did they
work that the organization has done over thirty years.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
So we focus on five different areas, and as you said,
we do it in Judaea, Samaria, in the Jordan Valley.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
And when we started, we also.
Speaker 13 (29:12):
Included those communities in Gush Katif was Yeah, those beautiful
communities that we lost. And then after the disengagement back
in two thousand and five, the organization also pivoted a
little bit to helping the communities that were left in
its wake along the southern border, and now during the
war also up on the northern border, we were called
up to assist and we basically focus on filling gaps
(29:36):
in the areas of you mentioned preventive security, but also
in medical and healthcare, education, recreation, and communal development.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
So at any one.
Speaker 13 (29:46):
Time, I am basically working on funding sometimes upwards of
two hundred projects. They can range from small projects of
creating a garden or an organic farm, to providing scholarships
for schools, needs programs, at risk youth programs, computer training
skills programs.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
We're building a hospital in Binyamin.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Doctor Paul, my good friend, he's spearheading. He's very active
with that.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
Yeah, he's involved with it also, that's correct, right.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well, listen to he's a wonderful individual, very dedicated to you.
Speaker 13 (30:18):
By the way, Yes, we actually have a very big
announcement coming up at the dinner that you mentioned regarding
the medical center.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
Look, our bulk of the work is certainly in the
areas of security.
Speaker 13 (30:29):
These are you know, these are not the easiest places
to live, and we need to make sure that they
have the protection they need. We work in tandem with
the security apparatus that exists in those areas and we
seek to fill gaps. When I started during the interfat
of years, my first project that was handed to me
was a children's bulletproof vest campaign to provide vests for
(30:52):
children when they had to go out into cars on
the road. We did vans to transport special needs children
to school, and those were the days when you know,
they we're drive by shootings and bus bombings and everything
else that was going on, and we haven't stopped since.
You know, we do a lot of surveillance camera systems,
for lighting systems, thermal drones. We were the first organization
(31:13):
to identify the advantage of having a thermal drone in
being able to detect potential terrorist threats, arson threats, things
like that. Everything we do is preventive and it's for
the civilian security teams. We're not involved with the army.
We focus on what the civilian teams need. Each community
has a what's called a rapid response team akitak kannanut,
(31:35):
and they have the various equipment that they need, patrol
vehicles and the like. But I'm also building mikfhahs, and
I'm building synagogues, and I'm building libraries and pinot haramot
for soldier hospitality centers and communities. Just since October seventh,
I think we filled almost five hundred different projects in
almost every community throughout your day in Samaria. We're very
(31:58):
proud of the work we did. Do it on a
shoe string budget. We're consistently ranked four stars with Charity Navigator.
And I do it because we all believe in the
cause and we all love working here.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
No, it's such important work, and I should let everybody
know that the Israeli Army all you can do so much,
so they rely on people and organizations such as one.
Is real fun to fill in the gaps and provide
the security and to work in tandem. And that's why
you know it's so important. And perhaps you're just an idea.
I know everybody's been focused on Gaza and Lebanon, but
(32:29):
what's the security situation been intradand Samaria and the Jordan Valley.
Since October seventh, it's also been a heightened stance of
security needs, very much so.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
In fact, in the very early days of the Iron
Swords War, everybody thought and all signs were leading towards
that area being a tinderbox and could explode at any moment.
Every one of these communities is surrounded by Arab villages.
Many of the communities have relationships with their Arab neighbors,
but there's you know, there's an element there that is
(33:00):
quite quite dangerous, and we're constantly fighting off terror. One
of the things that we learned over the year is
that first of all, you have to realize you just
you mentioned, you know, the army can't fulfill every need.
Speaker 10 (33:14):
It's more than just equipment.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
The Army can't be everywhere at every moment, Which is
why we have the Which is why we have the
creation of these ke Kut, the rapid Response Team, is
because they are the first responders to any kind of
a situation that takes place within the boundaries of a
community of an issue of so they are probably you know,
they are trained. We're involved in that training. We train
(33:38):
them also on the equipment that we give out. The
drones that we give out comes with a training course
so they can learn how to use it in all
types of inclement weather, that they can control the drone
and understand how to use it.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
To effectively with its thermal capabilities.
Speaker 13 (33:53):
And we we saw in the early days of the
war that because cause of the nature of the communities
in Juday and Samaria, and because they are strong, and
because they are equipped and they're well trained, that served
in a large part as a deterrent to a situation
(34:14):
like happened down in the Gaza border from happening in
Juday and Samaria.
Speaker 10 (34:19):
It's a different type of a scenario.
Speaker 13 (34:21):
The communities down along the Gaza border, many of them
and this is not you know, I'm not saying this
in a positive or negative sense, but many of them
tended to be very, very left wing socialist communities.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Some of them were from before the State of.
Speaker 13 (34:36):
Israel was even formed, and they worked very hard on
reaching out and developing relationships with their Arab neighbors, even
in Gaza itself. And it was an interesting metamorphosis that
after October seventh, many of them started to rethink the
efforts that they had put in to those relationships when
(34:57):
they found out that, you know.
Speaker 10 (34:59):
This is what was going on during the entire time.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
It's a fact, Scott that people who worked in their
homes actually gave intelligent to attack them exactly.
Speaker 10 (35:08):
So we don't have that situation in today in scenario.
Speaker 13 (35:12):
First of all, after October seventh, every hour worker was
pretty much kicked out of the communities. But you know,
in large part those communities are very, very strong, they're
well trained, they're well equipped, and it's a different situation.
And I'm happy to say that for thirty years, you know,
we have worked hand in hand in bringing about that reality.
(35:32):
So I'm not sitting here, I'm not telling you that
I'm the army. I'm not the army is strong, and
I'm not saying that it's because of one Israel fund
that you know, terror didn't explode like it did down
south in Juday scenario. But I am confident and I
can tell you this with you know, no shadow of doubt.
We have played a major role in the protection of
(35:54):
the communities in Juday. In Samaria and my security team,
and you know some of them. Mark Mark is one
of the foremost counter terror experts that exists in Jaday
and Samaria. He doesn't go into a community and listen
to them talk about what they need. He goes into
a community, looks at the situation, does a threat assessment,
(36:14):
and tells them what they need. And oftentimes he's able
to tell them that what they thought they needed to
protect themselves and to equip their teams wasn't exactly what
they needed. And we've saved money and we've made it
more efficient and we take a very very proactive role.
Our motto here for the twenty thirty years that we've
(36:36):
been around, and certainly seventeen years that I've been running
the organization has been no more Jewish victims, and we
live with that. We want to make sure to be
proactive and do whatever we can to prevent terror. One
of the projects that we're right now bringing online because
you were talking about the Army, is an AI monitored
camera system in one of the communities, and it's a pilot.
(37:00):
The Army is actually waiting to see its success to
figure out if it's going to invest in implementing it
in other areas, and oftentimes we one Israel of under
the guinea pigs that put in the money for a
specific project, demonstrate its effectiveness and then either the Army
or the Ministry of Defense or other areas if it's
another you know, another department, will assess its effectiveness and
(37:25):
make a determination as to whether or not they want
to put more money into it. So in twenty sixteen,
we created a project for armored vests for the rough
Shots and the security civilian chiefs because they were wearing
they were wearing combat vests and their job is to
drive around in cars and vehicles and to constantly get
in and out, and you can't sit with one of
(37:45):
those vests.
Speaker 10 (37:45):
It's not designed for that.
Speaker 13 (37:47):
So Mark, being a former rough Shots, a former security
chief in the Shiloh Bloc, redesigned the vest.
Speaker 10 (37:53):
We supplied three hundred or three hundred and fifty vests.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
The rough Shots in the Army saw its value and
they can in forty five hundred additional vests for the teams.
Speaker 10 (38:03):
So in many areas we punch far above our weight.
And that's just our projects.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
And we didn't even talk about the fact that somebody
like Eve Harrow is out there with our day trips
and educating people even during COVID online with virtual tours
with webinars. We now have a new women's division. We're
about to kick off a renewal of our Young Leadership Division.
We started a Congressional caucus down in Washington where I've
(38:32):
made a number of trips down to Capitol Hill, and
we brought a delegation this past summer where we are.
Speaker 10 (38:39):
We're not lobbying, that's not the point.
Speaker 13 (38:41):
We're more educating some of the members on the Hill
of the importance of the communities in today and Samaria.
And it's kind of fortuitous because you and I both
know that with the incoming administration that's going to be
a very big focal point going forward in the next
four years.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
How is Scott Feldman, He's executive vice president of One
Israel Fund doing amazing work Toda Samaria in the Jordan valleys,
been there seventeen years. By the way, I wouldn't be
surprised if some of the technology that you've used, let's
say the vest the army can use it for themselves, right,
you use frut.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
Yeah, they're really designed more for the civilian work that
has done. And it's a different role than a combat soldier. Interesting,
so yeah, it's a very it's cut a little bit
above the waist. Combat soldiers are usually a little bit
more more protective. Actually, it's also much lighter so that
you know this if you're working in a civilian role,
(39:39):
you may have to climb a light pole to change
a fixture or something in the middle of the night,
and you know, you need to be able to maneuver around,
you need to be able to move, and you're constantly
getting in and out of vehicles, and so it's a
different type of a vest.
Speaker 10 (39:55):
It was designed specifically.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
For them, but it could be used let's say for
emergency rees is like MDA bugandeven a dome or so.
It has beyond just Dance America be used in Israel
proper one percent.
Speaker 13 (40:06):
We actually did an armored vest campaign for medics because
oftentimes they have to go into the line of fire.
So instead of giving them out to the actual medics,
we put two armored vests on each ambulance in Jday
and Samaria, so whoever is actually in the vehicle on
a specific day has proper protection if they have to
(40:27):
actually leave the ambulance and go into the line of fire.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Wow, amazing. Now who funds you? One is will fund you.
This costs money, security, inflation, and I know we do,
but it's strictly up to like the Americans and the
chutzniks that that doing it.
Speaker 10 (40:44):
We do not get public funding.
Speaker 13 (40:47):
We also do not get funding from I mean, for
the most part, from any of the major Jewish philanthropic organizations.
Speaker 10 (40:54):
You know, and I know Juda and Samaria. It has
a stigma to it.
Speaker 13 (41:00):
For for whatever reason, we believe it's the you know,
we know it's the Biblical heartland, it's where seventy five
percent of the Bible took place. We know it's a
strategic area. We know it's the cradle of Jewish civilization.
That's where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob resided. But for whatever reason,
you know, it's a political football, and the major Jewish
(41:21):
philanthropic organizations will not participate with us. So we're left
to basically raise money from the wonderful individuals that exist
throughout this country on a on an individual basis. It
makes it a little bit more difficult, but a lot
more rewarding because I get to see and meet the
faces that support us and support us they do.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Now. One of the vehicles that you do is a
gala fundraising dinner, which is really fun because it's a
serious organization, but the dinner has some very very prominent
people and people have a great time. I've been to
your events and it's really it's really fun, but it's
also educational and also, Sir, is a good fund raising
tell us about your upcoming dinner. You have a lot
of interesting on a reason, including my good friend Sid
(42:07):
Rosenberg his wife Danielle. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (42:09):
So Sid and I have become close friends over the
past year. He had never been to Israel, and in January,
a friend, a mutual friend of ours, Judah Huntman, basically
called him up one day and said, Sid, it's not
enough to be talking about it on the air. You
kind of come And he basically said, Okay, how do
I do this? And through a lot of fortune due
(42:31):
to reach, reached out to me and I helped. I
was one of the participants in helping to sponsor his trip,
and since then we've become fast friends with his whole family,
his daughter who's doing amazing work on campus in London,
and his son here and his wife.
Speaker 10 (42:48):
So We're very excited. The two of the matter is
we haven't had an in person dinner since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Oh wow. Yeah, your events in the summertime where you
have a lot of you know, the summer.
Speaker 13 (42:58):
Community events many different communities around here. But as far
as our Galla dinner, we wereposed of our twenty fifth
it got canceled because of COVID.
Speaker 10 (43:06):
It went online the following year.
Speaker 13 (43:09):
We were about to do it in person, and then
there was another spike or something if I remember correctly,
so that was also a virtual and then we didn't
do it. You know, we didn't do it in twenty
twenty two, and then the war started in twenty twenty three,
and we haven't had an in person dinner in six years.
Speaker 10 (43:23):
So we're all really excited and we wanted to go
big or go home.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
So that's why I have some of any prominent guests
that are being on it. I was wondering. You have
a great roster.
Speaker 13 (43:31):
We put together as much of an all star lineup
as any organization has ever compiled in one room at
one night. In addition to wonderful honorees, we have the
Nnazi family, parents and children from Englewood, and the Sharfs
from Lawrence Marty and Melody Carol Greenwald, who's getting our
first ever inaugural women's division Women of Valor. She split
(43:53):
her time between Maryland and Florida. We have Sid and
Danielle who you mentioned. Very very meaningfully important to me
is that we created this year a Founder's Award in
honor of our founder, doctor Rhil Leider. Some of your
listeners may recognize the name aside from being our founder
and a visionary who created one is welf on thirty
years ago. He was just nominated and confirmed as the
(44:16):
new Israeli Ambassador to the United States by Prime Minister Yahoo.
Very nice, starting his term sometime I believe in January. Unfortunately,
in the early days of the war, his oldest son
fell in battle in last November in Gaza. So we're
giving the first ever Founder's Award posthumously in memory of
(44:37):
Moshia de de Lighter, MD. He was actually he was
in the army for fifteen years and then after graduating,
with six kids and a wife, he decided to go
to medical school and he was supposed to this past
June be part of the first graduating class of Ariel
University's new School of Medicine, and they gave him his
(44:59):
doctorate posthumously as well, and we're honoring his memory in
the first Founder's Award that's basically in honor of his father.
And every year there will be a monetary gift made
to a new Mechina, a pre military academy that is
(45:19):
going to be built in memory of Moshia Didya down
in the Otef on the dows of border. His father
is spearheading that Yaheel and we are going to make
a monetary contribution every year in honor of.
Speaker 10 (45:30):
The award for the Founder's Award.
Speaker 13 (45:32):
And then we have two Israeli women that we're honoring,
Hadassa Goldberg, who some of your listeners may know as
the real Hadassa on social media and Hadasko Zlan, who
I think has three followers on Instagram. She is one tough,
tough woman. She is the head of security for the
entire Jordan Valley. She is a mother, a wife, and
(45:53):
the toughest person you ever want to meet and the
sweetest and most beautiful woman. I apologize to my wife
about that. So those are ares and that's not even
the program. The VIP reception. For those people who want
to join at a premium level, we'll get to interact
and mingle with Mosab Hassan Yusef, better known as the
(46:15):
Son of Hamas, who is going to be in a
fireside chat with Nathaniel Buzalik, who people might know as
Nate Buzz. He's an actor in Hollywood from the Originals
and The Vampire Diaries, two shows I didn't even know
about until about a month ago, but I had to
learn up.
Speaker 10 (46:30):
Michael Rappaport, who's a well.
Speaker 13 (46:33):
Known comedian, israel activist and actor as well, is our MC.
Speaker 10 (46:38):
He actually joined us one of the days with Sid
in Israel.
Speaker 13 (46:41):
So we got to take Michael around to to Shilo
and the entire Binyamin area and and did I.
Speaker 10 (46:49):
Get Did I get everybody?
Speaker 13 (46:52):
And Noah Buskuila who's an Israeli musician, and Aria Kunsler
will be performing a concert at the end of the
night and engracing us throughout the program as well.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
Right, So what the data is it all taking place
is going to take place in Manhattan.
Speaker 10 (47:06):
December nineteenth, in New York City.
Speaker 13 (47:09):
I think your listeners will understand we're not giving out
the location without a reservation for security purposes, but they
can register online at one Israel Fund dot org slash focus.
That's one O n E Israel is r A E
L f U n D dot org slash focus. And
(47:30):
we want everybody to focus on all the good work
that Winners Fund has been doing and the opportunity that
now rests upon us to do big things in the
very near future.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
And that might be very secure evening because you have
not only security from the place, you have security from Israel,
and that different people have brought their own security, so
it will be a very secure night.
Speaker 13 (47:55):
