Review for FRIENDS OF THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES, NEW YORK, NY, USA

Rating: 3 stars  

The reason for the 3 star is they do great work which they get a 5 star for. Their employees get a zero star so I chose 3 star for the average.

However despite its a great charity after speaking with Jeff Klein about putting the FIDF into my will we got disconnected.

Very disturbingly he sent me a screenshot of a text he sent his colleague(s) about me.

He said he was just talking to me and got disconnected and asked them to reach out to me because “ she has lots of money or so she says” then proceeds to post a link for them to a negative and personal story in the paper about my father being a criminal. The lack of decency and ethics was really sad to see and confusing as to how he wasn’t even embarrassed to show me that text.

I never would speak like that nor ever said or would say to anyone “I have lots of money” I don’t talk like that so the idea this man would lie and gossip about me that way and say I said that to not one but two colleagues (at least) made me just heartbroken and sickened considering I was literally about to make their organization a beneficiary of my estate.

I just think donors should be aware, don’t stop donating for the soldiers because it’s a good charity l I just personally will find other ways to donate to the IDF but people should know the kind of low class “mean girl “ gossiping and what I think overall are just nasty unethical people I think they have working there.

I’m astonished but glad that this betrayal of my trust was brought to light by the very person who betrayed my trust. I’ve never put any charity in my will so this was seriously disturbing to see.

I think this guy Jeff and the two women tagged in the text. Amy and Elyse are beyond immoral as neither said to him why are you speaking about a donor that way? Neither asked why couldn’t you just say you got disconnected and can you reach back out to her? It was sickening to see how these three were when I was simply trying to do something good for Israel and the soldiers.

I just think donors should be aware ..this was in the NY area so I don’t know that all locations have these kind of high school lunch room nasty thing going on but be aware of my experience as I think these people have zero principles and it just makes me wonder how much of the donations go to administration and to people like these three.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Hire new people who are upright.
