An Afternoon with Captain Nofit
Temple Emanuel, 51 Grape St, Denver 80220
Sisterhood brings you an extraordinary opportunity to hear firsthand from Captain Nofit, the first female combat physician to serve in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Paratrooper Brigade. After seven years studying medicine through the Tzameret Academic Reserve (Atuda) program, Dr. Nofit was positioned in the 890th Battalion of the Paratroopers Brigade. As part of her service, she took part in border-crossing operations in Gaza and Lebanon and trained together with the combat soliders, shoulder to shoulder, during extremely difficult exercises. Today, Dr. Nofit is the Head of the Medical Division at the Air Force Professions School, where she is responsible for all the medicine training of pilots, air force commanders, and special forces units.
This joint program with the Temple Brotherhood and the Friends of the IDF (FIDF) promises to be enlightening and inspiring. With chapters across the U.S., FIDF's mission is to offer educational, cultural, recreational, and social service programs and facilities that provide hope, purpose, and life-changing support for the soldiers who protect Israel and Jews worldwide.
