Honesty:  In our dealings with one another as individuals, and in our work, our meetings, and our representation of LDS, we are always honest. We never hide or fudge information, and never misrepresent a situation. We are secure in being honest, open, and forthright because we know that those at LDS relate to one another from a perspective of—

I Got Your Back and How Can I Help:  We are here to help one another do her or his best at achieving our tasks, objectives, and goals. We recognize that internal competition will hinder our efforts. Our shared environment and culture is one where we celebrate one another’s successes, because every success is another piece of actualizing our mission, and every failure is an opportunity to learn how to do the job better.

Responsible and Accountable: Responsible: When we commit to doing something, we see it through. We don’t let things fall through the cracks. Accountable: We have a “the buck stops here” attitude to our work and responsibilities. If we fall behind or fall short, we don’t look for excuses or to blame others, rather we honestly and openly present the challenges we are facing and seek assistance.

Daring Thinking: We don’t merely encourage out-of-the-box thinking, we challenge ourselves to totally ignore the “box,” to not fear proposing impossible and unrealistic solutions, and to bring bold, imaginative thinking to every challenge we—and the people we serve—are facing.

Am Yisrael Chai: We are a proudly Zionist organization in which we feel grateful for the historic opportunity to help and support the state and people of Israel. We embrace the opportunity to involve others in this great mission.

The Resilient Spirit: From the Romans and the Crusaders to the Nazis and the USSR; we've overcome every effort to put an end to the Jews. To our Iranian led Jihadi enemies from Gaza to Ivy League campuses we say: Watch out, you've messed with the wrong generation of proud young Jews.

Everyday Miracles: David Ben Gurion said, "In Israel, in order to be a realist, you need to believe in miracles." At LDS, we believe in the everyday miracles that have made the Jewish state a source of blessing for the world, and we will do everything we can to make sure the light of Israel continues to shine brighter than ever.

The Eternal Light of Israel: In our ancient homeland, the State of Israel was reborn. No matter what, the Jewish state will always strive to be a beacon of light in an often darkened world. It's our honor to be part of that eternal light.

Audacious: In defending, supporting, and advocating for the state and people of Israel, we believe that whatever needs to get done, must get done. We are creative, proactive, and when necessary, absolutely unconventional.

Bottom line: With every challenge, in every realm, whatever needs arise, whatever needs to get done, we’ll do everything we can to figure out how to respond and GET IT DONE.
