Beis2Base Program
תוכנית לחיילים בודדיםHonestly, I wish I could have lived in yeshiva during the army! I ended up moving to the neighborhood just to stay close.
Lone soldiers face unique difficulties.
- Finding housing stands out as one of the biggest challenges facing lone soldiers.
- Those not interested in the existing programs or IDF housing often rent in high priced urban neighborhoods.
- Joining a program where the soldier doesn’t know anyone adds to the stress of starting in the army.
- Often, the more popular housing situations lack infrastructure and support for religious soldiers.
- Mental health remains a difficulty facing soldiers. The lack of comfortable housing and familiar people in a robust support system exacerbates the issue.
- Lacking a family framework, the need for shopping, cleaning, and generally taking care of oneself makes it hard to relax physically and emotionally.
Supporting our soldiers while they protect Israel
The Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi Beis2Base program aims to alleviate the stress of serving Medinat Yisrael and Am Yisrael while serving in the army after yeshiva. Eretz HaTzvi alumni will live in a familiar and comfortable environment. Soldiers will receive a room in the yeshiva area and will be assigned a host family he knows from his yeshiva days.
The housing includes all the necessary amenities such as a refrigerator, washer and dryer, and comfortable single occupancy bed-room. Alumni share areas with their friends from yeshiva. Even though soldiers will have the ability to eat meals with the yeshiva when they come home, we will stock their refrigerator with the food they like. Our goal is to enable them to relax and enjoy their time off from the army.
Yeshiva faculty and host families will be aware of any mental or physical health issues and make sure they receive proper attention.
Soldiers will feel that they are coming to a real home with people they already know. The religious environment of the yeshiva will embrace them and enable them to reconnect spiritually.
We developed this plan in consultation with dozens of alumni who served in Tzahal. Our goal is to make their service as comfortable and successful as possible.
