Join us as we welcome our first guests of the season – Moriyah Azulay and Ziv Yaar – the inspiring founders behind the NGO Lone Front.
Recognizing the need for women lone soldiers to be seen and heard, whether currently serving, in reserves, or navigating life after service, they set out to create a space for support, belonging, and empowerment.
Lone Front is a non-profit dedicated to amplifying the voices of female lone combat soldiers and those in meaningful service, providing both financial assistance and community connection.
Tune in to hear how this meaningful initiative came to life and where it’s headed next.
