A Warm Embrace for Lone Soldiers, in Partnership with Beit Eli

Lone Soldiers in the IDF serve the country with extraordinary dedication — but they do so without the close family support system that many others take for granted. In this reality, Chayal el Chayal has become a central and vital organization, giving them structure, support, and a true sense of belonging.

Together with other organizations like Beit Eli, a strong social safety net is created — ensuring that every Lone Soldier in Israel has a warm home and a supportive community.

What is Chayal el Chayal?

Chayal el Chayal was founded with a clear mission: to address the unique needs of Lone Soldiers in the IDF. Its vision is simple yet powerful — one soldier helping another.

The organization provides:

• Community activities that connect Lone Soldiers to each other and to the broader Israeli community.
• Housing and daily support for soldiers who don’t have a home to return to.
• Shared Shabbat and holiday experiences, giving them family warmth and a sense of belonging.
• Personal guidance and mentoring, including emotional and social support.

Lone Soldiers and Chayal el Chayal – Why Is It So Important?

Lone Soldiers face tremendous challenges:

• No close family in Israel to stand behind them.
• Economic and emotional difficulties alongside demanding military service.
• A constant need for community and connection that feels like home.

Chayal el Chayal helps bridge this gap. It ensures that every soldier has a place to return to, someone to listen, and the knowledge that they are not alone.

Partnership with Beit Eli

Alongside the unique work of Chayal el Chayal stands Beit Eli, another organization with a shared mission.

• Chayal el Chayal focuses on the day-to-day needs of Lone Soldiers — housing, warmth, and personal support.
• Beit Eli expands the vision on a national level — providing Shabbat hospitality, adoptive families, educational programs, and wider community connections.

Together, they create a comprehensive support network:

• Chayal el Chayal – caring for the everyday life of Lone Soldiers.
• Beit Eli – strengthening the broader community and national connection.

Key Takeaways

• Chayal el Chayal is much more than an organization — it’s a real family for Lone Soldiers.
• The partnership with Beit Eli creates a full framework of support: from housing to holidays, from personal care to nationwide programs.
• The bond between Lone Soldiers, Chayal el Chayal, and Beit Eli reflects the most meaningful values of Israeli society: responsibility, solidarity, and unity.

Summary

Chayal el Chayal is a true home for Lone Soldiers — a place where they find family, support, and unconditional love. Together with Beit Eli, it forms a wide safety net that gives every Lone Soldier what they truly need: belonging.

In this way, Lone Soldiers realize that while they may be far from their families, they are never truly alone — because they have Chayal el Chayal and they have Beit Eli.
