Construction Projects

Building a home away from home.

FIDF creates environments where soldiers can relax, connect with each other, stay in shape, and simply feel like themselves again. Projects range from individual structures to comprehensive well-being complexes, and include recreation and sports centers, cultural and educational facilities, synagogues, auditoriums, and soldier homes.

Construction Projects

Soldier Homes

Soldier Homes

There is nothing more integral to a soldier’s success than knowing that they have a warm, welcoming place to come home to while off-duty. FIDF soldier homes provide private housing for Lone Soldiers who do not have family in Israel to rely upon. Apartments include four private bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, a shared living area, and a kitchenette.

Wellness Centers

Wellness Centers

FIDF Wellness Centers provide soldiers with a space filled with amenities to optimize their health and happiness. They often include kitchenettes, canteens, or dining halls for soldiers to share meals together, culture rooms that can serve as places of education or reflection, leisure rooms, and outdoor areas for exercise.

Sports Centers

Sports Centers

FIDF sports centers and gyms deliver the essential elements of fitness, featuring the highest quality of equipment to enable soldiers to maintain a high level of physical fitness in preparation for their critical mission to protect the land and people of Israel.

Synagogues

Synagogues

FIDF synagogues not only provide a convenient place for daily worship, Shabbat services, and holiday events, they also serve as a conduit of invaluable spiritual strength for Israel’s dedicated soldiers.

Medical Centers

Medical Centers

Proper medical attention for our courageous troops is vital to their abilities to function at their best. FIDF medical centers provide world-class care and training for thousands of deserving soldiers every day of every year.

Education and Heritage Centers

Education and Heritage Centers

Education and Heritage Centers

FIDF Education Centers host lectures and activities that reinforce IDF soldiers’ mission. In cooperation with the IDF Educational Corps, instruction underscores the significance of the soldiers’ responsibilities to their country while strengthening the connection to their Jewish tradition and identities. Heritage and legacy rooms honor history and those who sacrificed their lives for the State of Israel.

FIDF's logo is seen throughout bases in Israel - on synagogues, infirmaries, gyms and more - reminding us that people across the world care about our well-being and our mission. Each of those structures contribute to our success.
