A Paratrooper's Perspective: From Mequon to the IDF

Jacob Katz grew up in Mequon and is now twenty-eight, living in Tel Aviv. He moved to Israel at twenty to join the IDF and served in the paratroopers (tzanchanim) unit. Currently, Jacob works at a small investment fund in Tel Aviv. He enjoys playing sports and visiting with friends in his free time. On October 7th, like many others in Israel, Jacob was at home when he was awakened by the sounds of sirens and rockets. He will share his account of the months following that day, his experiences in the reserves unit fighting in northern Israel, and what daily life is like in Israel during the war.
