Today we were honored to welcome two courageous soldiers from the El Ami Wounded Soldiers Organization to Brandeis. They shared their deeply personal stories with our students — stories of sacrifice, strength, and resilience that left us inspired and humbled. Their message was clear: Never take life for granted. Advocate for yourself. Stand up for what’s right. Know that you matter. It was an emotional, powerful reminder of the importance of purpose and unity — especially in these challenging times. Thanks to our incredible Brandeis families, we’ve raised $2,200 (and counting!) to support these heroes and others like them.
