Yom Siddurim 2026 💚

9,200 IDF Lone Soldiers came to the EXPO Tel Aviv today for Yom Siddurim, the annual day where government, military and civilian services all set up under one roof.

Olim from around the world were there alongside Israeli Lone Soldiers from across the country. The goal: knock out the bureaucracy and everyday stuff that’s hard to deal with while you’re in uniform.

70+ ministries, agencies, organizations and service providers were on site helping with:
- Driver’s license conversions
- Biometric IDs and passports
- National Insurance
- Housing
- Employment
- Academic degree recognition
- Banking
- Legal guidance
- Military benefits
- Aliyah services

Soldiers could also learn about the resilience programming and emotional support resources from the Nefesh B'Nefesh-FIDF Lone Soldiers Program with mental health support for Lone Soldiers, reservists and soldiers returning to civilian life.

Organized by the Nefesh B’Nefesh-FIDF Lone Soldiers Program and Merkaz Habodedim, with the Mofet Unit of the IDF Manpower Directorate and the Association for Israel's Soldiers, as part of the IDF’s annual Lone Soldier Appreciation Week.

*The NBN–FIDF Lone Soldiers Program supports Olim who make Aliyah and are required to serve in the IDF, offering practical and community-based support before, during, and after their mandatory service*

“Since making Aliyah 25 years ago and having a front row seat to watch over 100,000 people make Aliyah, I think I have a different or nuanced appreciation of Parshat L**h L**ha...”

This week is Shabbat L**h L**ha, the Shabbat of Aliyah and we’re excited to honor those who heard the call and said yes. We’re bringing Shabbat of Aliyah to communities across North America with NBN-Sponsored Kiddushim - thank you to all who participated 💙

Here’s to those who made Aliyah, those on their way home, those arriving this year and the ones just starting out. Wherever you are in the journey, we are here for you!

IMAP on the move! 🇺🇸

As part of the recent Nefesh B'Nefesh On Tour across North America, our IMAP team joined events in New York, Houston, and Dallas to connect directly with doctors, healthcare professionals, and families exploring medical Aliyah.

From packed rooms in Texas to detailed discussions in NY, we had the privilege of speaking with dozens of medical professionals about licensing, career integration, and practicing medicine in Israel. We even saw incredible enthusiasm from attendees gathering resources for relatives and colleagues back home!

Having dedicated IMAP experts on the ground continues to build bridges for healthcare professionals taking their next steps toward Israel.

"If you hear the call of L**h L**ha, listen to it... We're hitting a milestone in our children's lives, and we're very much looking forward to being in a space where they'll be happy growing up, where they will have a beautiful childhood, where they will be connected to their Judaism, to their homelands, to their spaces, and just be comfortable growing up as proud Jews."
