Veterans, Israel, and the Fight Against Antisemitism with Guest Judy Isaacson Elias

Veterans, Israel, and the Fight Against Antisemitism with Guest Judy Isaacson Elias

Antisemitic incidents in the United States remain at crisis levels,

Antisemitic incidents in the United States remain at crisis levels, with violent attacks on Jews growing more brazen and deadly. For Newsmax viewers who care deeply about faith, America’s veterans, Israel, and the security of Jewish communities at home and abroad, this is an issue that demands a serious, solution‑oriented conversation.

 

I’d like to offer Judy Isaacson Elias, founder and president of the Heroes to Heroes Foundation, as a timely guest for Newsmax. Heroes to Heroes runs a 12‑month, values‑based program that helps veterans live with purpose, strengthen character, engage in respectful dialogue, and develop as leaders—rooted in faith, patriotism, and a deep connection to Israel.

 

The Heroes to Heroes program combines small‑team peer support with a structured, year‑long curriculum that includes values exploration, goal‑setting, twice‑monthly team meetings, one‑on‑one coaching, and, for many participants, a 10‑day journey to Israel. The aim is to guide veterans from isolation and despair back to community, conviction, and service—helping them reconnect to faith, rebuild hope, and find a renewed sense of belonging and peace.

 

For a Newsmax segment, Judy can:

  • Connect rising antisemitism to the lives of patriotic veterans
    Judy can speak to what she hears from veterans and Jewish community members about growing antisemitism, why support for Israel matters in this climate, and how strong values and respectful dialogue are the antidote to hate.
  • Show how a values‑based curriculum transforms veterans into leaders
    Judy can walk through how the 12‑month program helps veterans clarify their core values, set concrete goals, and grow as leaders in their families, churches, and communities, instead of getting stuck in anger or hopelessness.
  • Explain how faith and Israel give veterans purpose again
    She can share what happens when veterans travel to Israel, visit biblical sites, and meet Israeli counterparts, and how those experiences restore their sense of mission, strengthen their commitment to religious freedom, and deepen their understanding of the Jewish people’s resilience.
  • Offer hopeful, pro‑American, pro‑Israel stories
    Rather than dwelling on despair, she highlights veterans who moved from suicidal thoughts and isolation to purpose‑driven lives—starting businesses, mentoring younger vets, and standing up for Israel and religious liberty in their own communities.

Why Judy is a strong guest for Newsmax:

 

  • Founder and President of Heroes to Heroes, a faith-centered organization serving American combat veterans through programs grounded in Israel and the Bible.
  • Over a decade of direct work with veterans dealing with PTSD, moral injury, and spiritual crisis, giving her powerful, human stories that resonate with Newsmax’s patriotic and faith-driven viewers.
  • More than 30 years of experience in media and business, making her a concise, media-savvy guest who understands the Newsmax format and keeps the conversation focused and engaging.

Possible segment angles for Newsmax:

 

  • “Antisemitism, Israel, and America’s veterans: One woman’s mission”
  • “Standing against antisemitism: What Jewish communities and veterans are facing now.”
  • “From broken to purpose‑driven: Inside a 12‑month values program changing veterans’ lives.”
  • “Faith, Israel, and leadership: How veterans are finding purpose in the Holy Land.”
  • “Rising antisemitism and America’s veterans: Why values and faith matter now more than ever.”

Judy is available for live or pre-taped interviews (in-studio or remote) and can tailor her remarks for breaking news, long-form conversation, or special coverage related to antisemitism, Israel, or veterans.

 

Would you consider Judy Isaacson Elias for an upcoming segment on antisemitism, Israel, and veteran healing? I’d be glad to share a one-sheet, recent clips, and coordinate scheduling at your convenience.
