Shabbat Chayal
Teaneck, New Jersey
April 28-29, 2023

Lev LaChayal is the only Yeshiva-based Lone Soldier Center that trains and cares for dozens of chayalim who come from abroad to serve in the IDF. In 2014, the program opened with only 6 participants. By the end of August 2023, that number will stand at approximately 60 soldiers from North America and England.

After many tiring days on base protecting our country, our soldiers return to furnished, cleaned, and maintained homes that are always stocked with food and anything else they may possibly need. Caring mentors and Rabbanim run weekly Shabbat and Yom Tov meals, visit their bases, and run programs for the soldiers when they are off duty. Our community members are also quite active in the program: hosting the boys for meals, bringing them extra food, and providing rides to the train- all to emphasize the message that Am Yisrael stands behind them.

While we do all we can to give them a sense of home, the current setup of renting apartments that are scattered throughout the neighborhood adds expense and difficulty. By building our own facility, we will be able to care for many more soldiers and provide them with the support they deserve.

In mid-February, we celebrated the Groundbreaking with a beautiful ceremony where the first cement was poured thus actualizing a dream nearly 10 years in the making.

*But we aren’t done yet!*

We are currently at 75% of our fundraising goal to make this vision a reality. We need your help to guarantee that our soldiers will have a home base: a place to live, sleep, learn Torah, socialize, and eat together when they leave base.

Will you help us reach the finish line?
