Noy Leyb
Modern Macabee
Through Limor Garfinkle’s lens, we honor heroes like Noy Leyb, an IDF reservist who got on the first flight from New York to Israel on October 7th to rejoin his elite commando unit. Since then, he has spent over 300 days on the front lines in Gaza and Lebanon. Today, Noy leads Strong Voices for Israel, an organization that brings IDF soldiers and October 7th survivors to allied communities to share their firsthand testimonies and strengthen their connection to Israel. He also educates over 50,000 followers online about misinformation and what war looks like from the inside.
