Maslul Michael
The first ever army preparatory program by commanders and officers who were themselves Lone Soldiers.
The program for the summer of 2020 has been cancelled. We hope to be back next year. Stay healthy and safe.
Overview
The objective of Maslul Michael is to bridge the gap that exists between lone soldiers from foreign backgrounds and native-born Israeli soldiers drafting into the IDF. Those who take part will be better prepared for the army, better integrated into Israeli society and ready for pre-draft interviews and try-outs.
The curriculum of Maslul Michael is based on the methodologies and content of existing Israeli mechina (Pre-Army Academies) as a model, with changes and adaptations made to best fit the needs and backgrounds of the incoming immigrant or Mahal volunteer lone soldiers.
