Several Lakewood residents are among a group of soldiers who have recently joined the religious paratroopers unit of the Israel Defense Forces, TLS has learned, marking a moment of pride for their families.

The group includes young men from Lakewood who traveled to Israel to enlist specifically in the IDF’s religious paratroopers, a unit known for combining elite combat service with a strong commitment to religious observance.

Family members and friends gathered today to show their support as the new recruits officially began their service.

“Lakewood has consistently produced individuals willing to step forward in times of need,” said one attendee from Lakewood, emphasizing the strong connection many local families maintain with Israel and their ongoing support for those who choose to serve in its defense.
