My name is Justin Yehuda, I’m a 24-year-old Israeli-American entrepreneur from New York City. I'm driven by a love for Israel, a passion for community, and an obsession with creating something meaningful in the world. Every morning, millions of people wake up and drink coffee; why not turn that everyday ritual into a force for good for our people in Israel?

After graduating from Cornell in 2023, and after watching the horrific aftermath of October 7th, I left the corporate world behind to start a coffee company that aims to make a difference in Israel.

When I started Iron Dome Coffee, I had two goals in mind: to build a community of coffee drinkers who proudly stand with Israel, and to give back to wounded IDF soldiers in an impactful way. Not only have we built a truly massive community thus far, amassing over 10,000 sales in only six months, but we've donated to organizations like Belev Echad, Heroes to Heroes, and Magen David Adom, making a tangible impact in Israel with every cup sold.

During this brutal war, I lost my cousin, Benny, who fell in Gaza during a rescue mission. The pain it continues to cause my family is truthfully unimaginable. Consequently, this company and its mission are deeply personal for me; I wish Benny could have been a wounded soldier whose life we tried to save.

I've dedicated my entire life to not only restoring hope in the pro-Israel community, but also to combatting anti-semitic hate, to empowering students to defend Israel on campus, and to proving the merit of modern activism through entrepreneurship.

If my words resonate with you, I encourage you to take the ultimate act of solidarity and join this community I'm building, where every cup of coffee represents our unwavering support for the State of Israel. All you need to do to support Israel every day is to drink a delicious cup of our unique, kosher, and premium Brazilian coffee.

I hope you give us a shot!

Thank you, & Am Yisrael Chai.
