Messianic Jews serving in the IDF: A legacy of service and dedication
Messianic Jews serving in the Israel Defense Forces is not a recent phenomenon. In fact, they’ve been around ever since Israel's War of Independence in 1948.
Currently, there are hundreds of Messianic Jews serving in many positions throughout the IDF, both in regular and reservist service. When Netivah Youth Ministries arranged a conference for soldiers back in January 2024, over 350 people attended – and those were only the ones who were available that weekend.
M. is a believer who immigrated to Israel alone from Canada and served in the Kfir Brigade from 2010 to 2013. After completing his active service, he was added to the 551st Reserve Brigade, where he served in Battalion 697. He was among the first set of troops to enter Gaza after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack, and he served for 88 days straight.
“On October 7th, I was at home in Herzliya, watching a movie with friends,” he told ALL ISRAEL NEWS during a recent interview. The group became aware of the surprise invasion of Hamas terrorists by air, land and sea.
