At Magen Achim, we believe that no soldier should ever feel alone—especially those who serve without immediate family in Israel. That’s why we work to create meaningful connections between soldiers and supportive families, giving them a sense of home, belonging, and emotional support.
Recently, we had the privilege of bringing together a lone soldier and a loving family, sharing a meal, heartfelt conversations, and a moment of togetherness at the Western Wall. For a soldier far from home, this simple yet powerful experience means everything.
Why This Matters
💙 Emotional Support – Having a family to turn to makes military service easier, offering encouragement, warmth, and a place to belong.
💙 Stronger Bonds – Connecting soldiers with families strengthens the Jewish community, reinforcing the idea that we are one people, one nation, one family.
💙 A Home Away from Home – Whether it’s a Shabbat meal, holiday gathering, or just a friendly check-in, these relationships provide comfort, guidance, and a sense of normalcy.
