About Us

The Center was established by former lone soldiers & friends of Michael Levin z”l.

Our mission is to assist lone soldiers before, during and after their army service. We provide them with food, laundry, basic necessities, equipment, advice, seminars, social events, Shabbat meals and more. By giving soldiers physical and emotional support, we help them through the difficulties that serving in the army presents.

Our vision is to enable every lone soldier to succeed in
his or her army service, successfully integrate into Israeli society and become part of the lone soldier family.

A “lone soldier” is an IDF soldier with no family in Israel to support him or her. A lone soldier may be a new immigrant, a volunteer from abroad, an orphan or an individual from a broken home. Every day, tens of thousands of soldiers are defending the State of Israel and its citizens. These soldiers regularly spend weekends and holidays at home where their parents provide for all of their needs: food, laundry, and even a hug. For more than 7,000 lone soldiers, there is no immediate family in Israel to support them. Though highly motivated and proud to serve, when on leave, many of them struggle with basic needs that a family would solve.
