Linda Argalgi Sadacka

The Power Broker You Need in Your War Room

“I didn’t choose this fight. The fight found me,” says Linda Argalgi Sadacka, reflecting on the moment that changed her life. It began in 1992, when she was just a teenager and Jason Friedberg—a lone IDF soldier and the brother of her brother’s best friend—went missing. Her family was deeply involved in the search, praying for a miracle. Instead, they were met with horror: Jason had been kidnapped and executed by Hamas. The indifference that followed stunned her—and ignited a mission that has defined her life ever since.

Years later, now a wife, mother, grandmother, and religious woman, that same fire fuels Linda’s every move. “That moment taught me that silence is never an option. Since then, I’ve been doing everything I can to make sure our people are never hurt or ignored again.”

The Mission & The Movement
Today, Linda serves as the lead strategist for World Likud, a ZOA Coalition delegate for the World Zionist Congress, and the founder of Chasdei David, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (formerly Moms on a Mitzvah) that quietly meets urgent and often overlooked needs in the Jewish community.
Though her political influence spans continents and campaigns, Linda is adamant that the real blessings behind her work don’t come from titles or headlines—but from the small, hands-on acts of kindness she performs out of the spotlight.
“I truly believe the success I’ve had in the political world comes from the chessed I do through Chasdei David (formerly Moms on a Mitzvah). It’s small and personal—people come to me in crisis, and I do what I can. That’s where the bracha is.”
Her advocacy and strategy work has been featured in Times of Israel, World Israel News, Jewish Press, and many more. She has organized high-level campaigns, mobilized tens of thousands through digital action, and played a critical role in shaping modern Zionist messaging. She was personally invited by the President of the United States to attend the inauguration and inaugural ball—a rare and humbling acknowledgment.
She also received a letter from the Office of Israel’s Prime Minister, advising community leaders not to TAG her phone (install a filtering app used in Orthodox communities) due to the sensitivity of her communications. Given the confidential nature of her strategic work, this was simply not an option.
Most recently, Linda was brought in—alongside world-renowned strategist Joshua Klein—to take over and restructure the ZOA campaign for the World Zionist Congress elections. Together, they’ve brought clarity, discipline, and order to a project that had lost its bearings.
“We were asked to step in when things were falling apart. We didn’t just patch holes—we rebuilt the foundation. That’s the kind of confidence and clarity we bring to every room we walk into.”
It’s worth noting: Linda and Joshua were brought in just three weeks before the election’s close—at a moment when the prior leadership had all but lost control. The timeline left little margin for error, and most wouldn’t have dared touch a campaign in such disarray. But they accepted the challenge anyway—not to salvage reputations, but to inject strategy into chaos. Whether the outcome reflects their efforts or not, one thing is certain: they didn’t inherit a campaign—they inherited a crisis. And still, they showed up to lead.

Faith, Family, and Fire
Despite her public presence, Linda operates with the deep conviction and humility of someone rooted in Torah values. She doesn’t chase attention. She doesn’t seek applause. And she certainly doesn’t compromise halacha.
“As a religious woman, I follow the letter of the law—always. Whether it’s yichud (seclusion laws) or tzniut (modesty), I don’t cut corners. When I met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I didn’t shake hands. The cameras weren’t rolling, but they respected me for standing firm in my values. And my husband—a well-known community pediatrician and my greatest supporter—is usually by my side. On the rare occasions when he isn’t, I always ensure that a woman accompanies me so that I am never in a compromising situation. It’s something everyone who works with me knows, respects, and even expects.”
Her children have grown up watching her stand firm, fight hard, and help quietly. “They’ve seen the struggle and the humility behind it. Because of that, they’ve become open-minded and grounded—rooted in real values, not the world’s noise.” That distinction is critical—especially in today’s culture of performative activism.
“The influencer world is a very small, very fake world—and I know it from the inside. Some of the most praised faces out there are complete phonies. They show up for photo ops, post a caption, and leave without doing a thing. Some have even stolen large sums of money from causes they pretend to support.”
What troubles Linda most is the way the public is fooled by them. “One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see comments like, ‘I hope my daughter grows up to be like him/her’—under a post from someone who’s nothing like what they portray. It’s not just naïve—it’s dangerous. You’re cursing your child. People have no idea what really goes on behind the scenes.”
Linda has also learned the painful truths of political loyalty. “They say, ‘If you want a friend in politics, get a dog.’ I helped build careers—literally built them—and the day after the win, I saw who they really were. Used me. Walked away. But thank G-d, I’ve built a circle of real, loyal friends I can count on. They are my rock in a world that often lacks integrity.”

Vision & Call to Action
Right now, Linda’s focus is razor-sharp: voter registration. “We’re losing critical ground in the Jewish world—not because our enemies are stronger, but because we’re not showing up. The voter registration rate in our religious communities is dangerously low. That has to change.” She’s mobilizing communities across America and Israel to step up, speak out, and take part in shaping their own future.
“If we don’t fight for our future, someone else will write it for us—and it won’t reflect our values, our faith, or our people.” To anyone who wants to help, support, or join her mission, Linda’s message is direct: “Reach out. If you’ve got time, skills, or even just the fire in your heart to help, I want to hear from you. We need all hands on deck.”
