Lone Soldier Support
Social & Emotional Support
In partnership with Nefesh B’Nefesh, FIDF’s Lone Soldiers program includes a 24-hour call center, advocacy with government agencies, social gatherings such as holiday meals and Errands Day, and more. The program also provides valuable support and connections for the parents of Lone Soldiers.
Financial Assistance
Together with Nefesh B’Nefesh, FIDF provides Lone Soldiers with a small financial safety net for the beginning of their service to help them comfortably settle in their new roles. During their service FIDF distributes holiday gift vouchers to still celebrate even without the financial support of their families.
Flights Home
Through one of its most heartwarming programs, FIDF provides Lone Soldiers with flights home, reuniting them with cherished family and friends during their service.
Fun Day
Once a year, FIDF sponsors a Fun Day for Lone Soldiers at a waterpark to ease loneliness and connect with thousands of others who relate to their experiences.
Warm Homes
FIDF provides Lone Soldiers with state-of-the-art housing to give them a necessary off-base home. Each soldier is given a room in an apartment — equipped with a washer and dryer, kitchen, and spacious living room — which is free of charge for their entire service. Nurturing “Warm Home” staff ensure their needs are taken care of while living there.
I made Aliyah by myself, without my family, because I wanted to do my part to fight against antisemitism and for the Jewish homeland. Even though I was alone in this new country, FIDF made sure that I had support and didn’t feel alone.
