Lone Soldier Parents
You Aren't Alone
WRJ/Beth Israel Sisterhood of Portland Oregon is beginning a lone soldier parent support group.
Who are "lone soldiers"? Each year, thousands of young immigrants and volunteers arrive in Israel alone, to join the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and do their part protecting Israel and the Jewish people. Lone soldiers serve in the IDF while their parents and loved ones remain at home, thousands of miles away.
Over the last several days, many lone soldiers have been called up to serve in Operation Pillar of Defense, both from within Israel and abroad.
The Lone Soldier Center in Memory of Michael Levin supports lone soldiers before, during, and after their IDF Service. There are over 5,000 lone soldiers serving in the IDF today. The Center's goal is to provide them all with guidance, meals, and a warm community, so they will no longer be alone.
If you are the parent of a lone soldier in Israel, or you know someone who is, please contact Daphna Stadig at topsys@comcast.net.
