Our Misson

The Michael Levin Memorial Center supports lone soldiers in the IDF. These brave individuals come to Israel to defend the Jewish homeland. We are here for them, so they will no longer be alone.

Lone Soldiers

The Michael Levin Memorial Center is a support center for the lone soldiers of the IDF. There are 5,108 lone soldiers currently serving in the Israeli Defense Forces.

These brave young men and women serve in the IDF, while their parents and siblings remain abroad. With no familial support, their Shabbat weekend breaks from the army can be an isolating and difficult time.

The Michael Levin Memorial Center helps new immigrants from the time of their arrival, throughout their IDF service, and in the years following their release. Activities and support include Shabbat meals, counseling, host families, roommate matching, pre-army information sessions, and a lone soldier veteran network to mentor and support, on a one-to-one basis, lone soldiers in the IDF.

The Center supports these idealistic young people for the duration of the absorption process, from the months before their enlistment into the IDF and in the years following. The goal is to ensure they have the necessary information and connections to succeed – in the army, in finding an apartment, Shabbat meals, and in the difficult transition process back into civilian life
