Hello Michael,
Thank you for this email.
Yes, we"re looking at potential participation of a representatives from IDF (and may be other relevant bodies) at JSOU courses.
Thanks for the brochure, it was actually already sent to us after
our (IDF's) J3 and J7 have expressed their interest in joining the courses of JSOU. It was actually after the great the connection was established between our GO"s through the leadership engagement we have - ISOSS ( Israel-SOCOM
Strategic Seminar).
Our requirements would be practical (actually we were already trying to contact JSOU through the contact numbers and emails that stated in brochure- but no answer was
given) - what are the costs, protocol requirements, accommodation etc...Basically - if there"s a course that we interested in, that starts at JSOU in December- what do we do? How do we start? :)
Yes' it would be great to have a conversation! Tell me when comfortable and what number to dial to- i will. ( i know that you have a cellphone restrictions at SOCOM- so
just tell me how).
You can always send me a message on my cell - Whatsapp would be best : +972529215480.

Maj Dima Feldgendler

LTC Shoshana, MAJ Feldgendler, Greetings from JSOU,
CDR Brian Reiziss over at SOCOM asked that I reach out to you to explore how you might leverage JSOU for your SOF /SOF-support development.
Do you have any specific requirements in mind ?
Attached is brochure that outlines some of the courses we offer which you may find helpful.
If it would be more helpful -perhaps we can have a phone conversation next week.
Have agreat weekend ,
