Lone Soldier Center in Memory of Michael Levin 7,000 Lone Soldiers protect Israel and the Jewish people in the IDF, with no family in Israel to support them. Friends of fallen lone soldier Michael Levin

“Lone Soldiers” serve in the IDF while their parents and loved ones remain at home, thousands of miles away. Drafting for and serving in the IDF can be a difficult task at times, and many lone soldiers are in dire need of guidance, support and community. The Lone Soldier Center steps in by providing lone soldiers with a network of lone soldiers, advisors, adopted families and more. Our volunteer staff members have served as lone soldiers themselves and therefore possess a unique understanding of what lone soldiers truly want and need before, during and following their army service. Our intrinsic connection to the lone soldier community has enabled us to develop personal relationships with thousands of lone soldiers to date.

Great vibes, food made with love, and the best company!

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting 100 lone soldiers for our traditional Sukkot BBQ. The soldiers enjoyed an extra-special BBQ prepared just for them by Eli Berkowitz, who spends the year bringing delicious BBQ meals to soldiers on bases all across Israel, together with the amazing volunteers who joined him.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the evening so special!

And now… take a look at the photos to see some of the vibes! 😎

🍎Rosh Hashanah is here and the holiday season has officially begun
Over the coming weeks, Lone Soldiers will gather for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, three holidays filled with reflection, tradition, community, and togetherness.
But for a Lone Soldier whose family is thousands of miles away, these holidays can also be a reminder of what they’re missing.
That’s why we’re making sure they have a seat at the table. A holiday meal. A welcoming community. A reminder they are never alone. And we’re just getting started!
Your support helps provide holiday meals for Lone Soldiers throughout this entire holiday season, from the sweetness of Rosh Hashanah to the reflection of Yom Kippur and the joy of Sukkot.
❤️ Help us make sure no Lone Soldier celebrates these holidays alone.
Give today and be part of their holiday table.

Sometimes, you need to stop in order to keep moving forward-
A journey for lone soldiers in Georgia, August 2026

Over the years, we have met thousands of lone soldiers, and one thing that is impossible to ignore is that the effects of IDF service and combat continue to stay with them for years after their service ends.

Add to that complex life stories and challenges they were carrying long before they enlisted - difficult childhoods, leaving religious communities, estrangement from family, making aliyah alone to a foreign country, and facing life without a family support system - and what you get is a life that can feel like a constant journey of survival, financially, emotionally, and physically. Within this reality, they do not always have the space to stop, look inward, and find their footing again.

It was out of this understanding that the journey to Georgia was born.

A week-long journey with 15 lone combat soldiers from a range of units, backgrounds, and countries, all sharing the experience of serving without close family by their side. It was a week away from their daily routine in Israel, from responsibilities and from the security situation - a week in which they could shed their roles and definitions and simply... be.

We had the privilege of getting to know each and every one of them as they truly are - a person with a full life story, memories, and wounds that had remained closed for years. The participants became mirrors for one another, meeting people who could truly understand their experiences without the need to explain, hide, or apologize. We stopped, recognized pain and symptoms as they surfaced, gave them space, and gained practical tools to continue forward from a healthier, more connected, and stronger place.

Thank you to the Alot Hashachar nonprofit organization for the professional organization and leadership of the journey, to Nadav for his sensitive facilitation of the group and for creating a safe space, and to our own Amit, who took part in the journey, offered support, and brought the unique perspective of lone soldiers on behalf of the Center.

Together, you created a space for reflection, connection, and healing, and provided meaningful tools for coping, strengthening resilience, and building independent lives.

It is already clear to us that this journey is only the beginning...

See you on the journeys ahead.

“Home” is so much more than four walls.
It is the place you return to at the end of a long day, where someone who cares about you is waiting, the place where you can simply put down your gear, take off your uniform, and be yourself.

Last week, we had the privilege of fulfilling another one of Michael Levin’s dreams when we opened the doors of our new home in Tel Aviv, a home that will provide a safe and welcoming place for 28 lone soldiers who made aliyah and carries with it a special connection between past, present, and future.

The building where we are inaugurating this new home was once the Imperial Hotel, owned by the Rob and Livnat families. Gideon Rob was killed in the First Lebanon War, and following his death, the hotel was managed by his brother-in-law, David Livnat.

Today, in a place that carries Gideon’s memory, a home for lone soldiers has been established in memory of Michael Levin, who was killed in the Second Lebanon War. It is an Israeli closing of the circle, where loss is transformed into life, action, and new hope.

This home was not built in a day, nor was it made possible by one person. Behind every corner, every piece of furniture, and every picture on the wall are people with generous hearts.

A huge thank you to the Rob and Livnat families for their generosity and for the opportunity to turn memory and loss into new life. Thank you to each and every one of our partners and donors, to our dedicated team, and to the members of the Board of Directors of the Lone Soldier Center - you are the ones who turn a vision into reality every single day. Thanks to you, every lone soldier has somewhere to turn.

✨ One week until Rosh Hashanah.
This Shabbat is the last one before we welcome a new year. It is a time to pause, gather around the table, and remember what it means to feel at home and start a new year.
For Lone Soldiers, that sense of home comes from the communities that surround them. A Shabbat meal, a familiar face, and a seat at the table.
As we prepare to welcome a new year, help make sure every Lone Soldier has a place to belong.
❤️One week. One community. One table at a time.

They are there for us throughout the entire year, with warm and comforting Friday meals, special events, and holidays.
Every request is always met with a smile and with wholehearted generosity, so it was time to take a moment to remind them just how much we appreciate them, the cooking communities of our Be’er Sheva Center.
At an intimate appreciation evening for representatives of the communities from Meitar, Omer, Ashlim, Be’er Sheva, and Mevo’ot - the cooking community in memory of Noa Price z”l, we shared more about the work we do and the support provided to our lone soldiers. We presented certificates and gifts to each participant, and to top it all off, enjoyed a creative workshop decorating w**e glasses.
During the evening, we also said goodbye to Dana, a lone soldier and Olah who served as a scholarship recipient, after three years of leading the Club’s cooking communities initiative.
A huge thank you to Roni and Sharon from the Be’er Sheva Club team, and to our incredible communities, for the support, generosity, and open hearts that accompany us and our soldiers every step of the way. ❤️
