On Feb. 25, 7 p.m., JOIN Orlando is hosting David Sussman, a former IDF soldier, who will tell his first-hand account of the Second Lebanon War in 2006.

During this war, Sussman almost lost his life in the crosshairs of Hezbollah. This was a wake-up call for Sussman and led him on a path of personal self-identity, in which he discovered the true meaning of roots, family, community and Israel.

Since then he has immersed himself in the land and culture. Sussman realized the importance of educating people about Israel. He graduated from the Archeological Seminar's two-year course in 2009 and became a licensed tour guide from the Israel Ministry of Tourism. Sussman has his own TV show on the cable network Daystar called "Land of the Bible." 

This event is open to the community and free of charge. The JOIN House is located at 109 Water Oak Lane in Altamonte Springs. Desserts and drinks will be served. To RSVP, visit davidsussman.eventbrite.com
