Marrying the Warriors

In March of 2024, ten couples, each with a member serving in the Israel Defense Forces, were united in a simultaneous wedding ceremony in Tel Aviv — one of the largest Jewish weddings ever held in Israel. The event, part of Chabad of Savyon’s “Marrying the Warriors” initiative, took place at the Hangar 11 event hall in Tel Aviv Port, with ten wedding canopies and individual officiating Rabbis, and each couple inviting 100 guests. Following the ceremony, a joint celebration included performances by top Israeli artists.

Many of these soldiers had postponed their weddings due to the war. Couples included some with high security clearance and lone soldiers from abroad.
