Emotions filled the room at the Fifth Annual Real Estate Reception of the Friends of the Israeli Defense Force.  The pride each attendee had in the young soldiers whose mission is the protection of the Jewish state and in the honoree whose efforts support the important work of the FIDF was palpable.   The excitement of the crowd gathered at Gotham Hall to commend Ofer Yardeni, Managing Partner and co-founder of Stonehenge Partners

Surrounded by the generations of his family – and almost 600 guests – Yardeni described himself as “completely overwhelmed” by the honor given by the FIDF.  The honor and admiration offered by the enthusiastic crowd bespoke the respect in which he is held.
